XMax (NASDAQ: NVFY) Q1 2026 net income boosted by fund gains and equity raise
XMax Inc. reported a small profit for the three months ended March 31, 2026, mainly from investment gains rather than its core furniture business. Net sales were $1.78 million, down from $2.64 million a year earlier, and operations generated a loss of $0.53 million. A net other income contribution of $0.73 million, including an unrealized gain of about $0.79 million on its investment funds, lifted net income to $191,514 versus a prior-year net loss of $338,871.
Cash and cash equivalents increased to $9.9 million, helped by $12.20 million of common stock issued to investors, offset by $8.35 million of new investments in Preamble-managed funds that hold interests in SpaceX and xAI, and a new $5.3 million loan to a third party at 6% interest. Total assets rose to $47.14 million, with investment in fund at $26.95 million. Total liabilities declined to $6.79 million, including $5.12 million of convertible notes, and stockholders’ equity increased to $40.35 million. Common shares outstanding grew to 53.53 million at March 31, 2026, and 63.60 million as of May 14, 2026.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- Core operations weakened: Q1 2026 net sales fell to $1.78 million from $2.64 million and the operating loss widened to $0.53 million, indicating continued pressure on the underlying furniture business.
- Reliance on investment gains and dilution: Net income of $191,514 depended on an unrealized gain of about $0.79 million on investment funds, while equity financing of $12.20 million and share count growth to 63.60 million increased dilution risk.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews these estimates and assumptions using the currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Company to revise its estimates. In accordance with ASC 250, the changes in estimates will be recognized in the same period of changes in facts and circumstances. The Company bases its estimates on past experiences and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Estimates are used when accounting for items and matters including, but not limited to, fair value estimation of investment, the allowance for credit loss, valuation of inventories, the valuation of stock-based compensation, income taxes and unrecognized tax benefits, assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, and loss contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Table of Contents
Business Combination
For a business combination, the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree are recognized at the acquisition date and measured at their fair values as of that date. In a business combination achieved in stages, the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, are recognized at the full amounts of their fair values. In a bargain purchase in which the total acquisition-date fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired exceeds the fair value of the consideration transferred plus any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, that excess in earnings is recognized as a gain attributable to the acquirer.
Deferred tax liability and assets are recognized for the deferred tax consequences of differences between the tax bases and the recognized values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740-10.
Goodwill
Goodwill is the excess of purchase price and related costs over the value assigned to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of businesses acquired. In accordance with ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other,” goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment, annually or more frequently when circumstances indicate a possible impairment may exist. Impairment testing is performed at a reporting unit level. An impairment loss generally would be recognized when the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, with the fair value of the reporting unit determined using discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analysis. A number of significant assumptions and estimates are involved in the application of the DCF analysis to forecast operating cash flows, including the discount rate, the internal rate of return and projections of realizations and costs to produce. Management considers historical experience and all available information at the time the fair values of its reporting units are estimated.
ASC Topic 350 also permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the single step goodwill impairment test is required to be performed. Otherwise, no further testing is required. Performing the qualitative assessment involved identifying the relevant drivers of fair value, evaluating the significance of all identified relevant events and circumstances, and weighing the factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The Company completed the required testing of goodwill for impairment as of December 31, 2025, and determined that goodwill was impaired because of the current financial condition of the Company and the Company’s inability to generate future operating income without substantial sales volume increases, which are highly uncertain. Furthermore, the Company anticipates future cash flows indicate that the recoverability of goodwill is not reasonably assured.

Intangible Assets
Intangible
assets consist primarily of computer software acquired for internal use. Acquired intangible assets are initially recorded at the acquisition-date
fair value. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives and are carried at cost less accumulated
amortization. The estimated useful life of computer software are generally from

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, cash at banks that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash, are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Accounts Receivable
Since January 1, 2024, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), using the modified retrospective transition method. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. Upon adoption, the Company changed the impairment model to utilize a forward-looking current expected credit losses (CECL) model in place of the incurred loss methodology for financial instruments measured at amortized cost and receivables resulting from the application of ASC 606, including contract assets.
The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses and records the allowance for credit losses as an offset to accounts receivable and the estimated credit losses charged to the allowance is classified as “General and administrative expenses” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. The Company assesses collectability by reviewing accounts receivable on aging schedules because the accounts receivable were primarily consisted of receivables arising from product sales. In determining the amount of the allowance for credit losses, the Company considers historical collectability based on past due status, the age of the balances, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect the Company’s ability to collect from customers. Delinquent account balances are written-off against the allowance for expected credit loss after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable.
Accounts receivable consisted of the following as of the date indicated:

Advances to Suppliers
Advances to suppliers represent amounts paid to suppliers in advance for goods that are yet to be delivered and from which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the Company within the normal operating cycle. Based on its historical record and in normal circumstances, the Company receives goods within 4 to 6 months from the date the advance payment is made. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, no provision was made on advances to suppliers.

Inventories
Inventories
consist of finished goods. Inventory costs include the purchase price and other expenditures that are directly attributable to bringing
the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost of inventories are computed using the weighted average cost method. Inventories
are written down to estimated net realizable value, which considers historical usage, expected demand, anticipated sales price, and other
factors. The Company periodically reviews its inventories for excess or slow-moving items and makes provisions as necessary to properly
reflect inventory value. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company wrote down (reversal) $
Property, Plant, and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred, while additions, renewals and improvements are capitalized. When property, plant and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation is removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with no salvage value and estimated lives as follows:

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable.
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset’s carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company conducts its long-lived asset impairment analyses in accordance with ASC 360-10-15, “Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” ASC 360-10-15 requires the Company to group assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities and evaluate the asset group against the sum of the undiscounted future cash flows. If the undiscounted cash flows do not indicate the carrying amount of the asset is recoverable, an impairment charge is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value based on discounted cash flow analysis or appraisals. As of December 31, 2025, the Company determined that goodwill was impaired because of the current financial condition of the Company and the Company’s inability to generate future operating income without substantial sales volume increases, which are highly uncertain. Furthermore, the Company anticipates future cash flows indicate that the recoverability of goodwill is not reasonably assured.

Research and Development
Research
and development costs are related primarily to the Company designing and testing its new products during the development stage.
Since 2023, the Company through Nova Malaysia has been developing Virtual and Augmented reality software and AI system for potential
consulting business. In addition, since 2024, the Company acquired IT systems for AI-Calculation Engine, Nova Living DesignXperience
System and Payment IT System which were integrated into our current IT system. The entire system was far from complete as it
required to integrate with other components in order to be functional and it was not in operation and was eventually abandoned due
to the close down of the business of Nova Malaysia. Research and development expenses were $
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
In
its interim financial statements, the Company follows the guidance in ASC 270 “Interim reporting” and ASC 740 “Income
Taxes” whereby the Company utilizes the expected annual effective rate in determining its income tax provision. The income tax
(expense) benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are $0 and $
The Company follows ASC Topic 740, which prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods, and income tax disclosures.
Under the provisions of ASC Topic 740, when tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA extends permanently, with modifications, tax provisions enacted as part of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and restores and makes permanent many business provisions, such as full expensing for domestic research and development and capital investments. In addition, the OBBBA makes changes to certain U.S. corporate tax provisions, but many are generally not effective until 2026. The enactment of the OBBBA does not have a material impact on the results from operations for the current period.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Act”) created new taxes on certain foreign-sourced earnings such as global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) under IRC Section 951A, which is effective for the Company for tax years beginning after January 1, 2018. For tax years beginning after December 31, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act renamed GILTI as net CFC tested income (“NCTI”) and modified the Section 951A calculation. For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company has calculated its best estimate of the impact of NCTI, if any, in its income tax provision in accordance with applicable tax law and guidance available as of the date of this filing.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 also amended IRC Section 174 to require specified research and experimental expenditures to be capitalized and amortized for tax years beginning after December 31, 2021. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act subsequently restored current expensing for domestic research and experimental expenditures paid or incurred in tax years beginning after December 31, 2024, while foreign research and experimental expenditures remain subject to capitalization and amortization over 15 years. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company expensed current-year U.S. research and experimental expenditures for federal income tax purposes. The Company did not elect to accelerate the deduction of unamortized domestic research and experimental expenditures from prior years and continues to amortize such amounts over the remaining applicable amortization period. Since the Company’s research and experimental expenditures were incurred within the United States and the amount is immaterial, the Company does not anticipate a material impact to its income tax provision.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the accumulated undistributed earnings generated by its foreign subsidiaries
were approximately
$
As of March 31, 2026, unrecognized tax benefits were approximately $0. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate was $0 as of March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2025, unrecognized tax benefits were approximately $0. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate was $0 as of March 31, 2025.

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenues when its customers obtain control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which it expects to receive in exchange for those goods. The Company recognizes revenues following the five-step model prescribed under ASC-606: (i) identifies contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identifies the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determines the transaction price; (iv) allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognizes revenues when (or as) it satisfies the performance obligation.
Revenue from product sales is recognized when the customer obtains control of our product, which typically occurs upon shipment to the customer. Each customer order is being distinct and separately identifiable from other customer orders as a single performance obligation to deliver the ordered product in exchange for consideration. The Company offers credit sales to customers with credit periods range from 30 to 90 days. We expense incremental costs of obtaining a contract as and when incurred if the expected amortization period of the asset that it would have recognized is one year or less or the amount is immaterial.
Product revenue reserves, which are classified as a reduction in product revenues, are generally characterized in the following categories: discounts, returns and rebates. These reserves are based on estimates of the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales and are classified as reductions of accounts receivable as the amount is payable to the Company’s customer.

The Company’s sales policy allows for product returns within the warranty period if the product is defective and the defects are the Company’s fault. As alternatives to the product return option, the customers have the option of requesting a discount from the Company for products with quality issues or of receiving replacement parts from the Company at no cost. The amount for product returns, the discount provided to the Company’s customers, and the costs for replacement parts were immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
The Company considers itself acting as a principal for sales of goods which is evidenced by (i) the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified goods, (ii) the Company has inventory risk before the specified goods have been transferred to a customer or after transfer of control to the customer, (iii) the Company has discretion in establishing the price for the specified good. Thus, the Company’s’ revenue is recognized at a point in time when a promised good is delivered to a customer.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales consists primarily of costs of finished goods purchased from third-party manufacturers and write-downs of inventory.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping
and handling costs related to delivery of finished goods are included in selling expenses. During the three months ended March 31, 2026
and 2025, shipping and handling costs were $
Advertising
Advertising
expenses consist primarily of costs of promotion and marketing for the Company’s image and products, and costs of direct advertising,
and are included in selling expenses. The Company expenses all advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense was $
Share-based Compensation
The Company applies ASC 718 (“ASC 718”), Compensation - Stock Compensation, to account for its employee share-based payments. In accordance with ASC 718 -10, the share-based payment transactions with employees and non-employees, such as share options, be measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity instrument issued and recognized as compensation expense over the requisite service period, with a corresponding addition to equity. Under this method, compensation cost related to employee share options or similar equity instruments is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which generally is the vesting period. Unrestricted stock awards are fully vested upon issuance, and compensation expense is recognized equal to the fair value of the award on the grant date. The fair value of unrestricted stock is determined based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date.
Earnings per Share (EPS)
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is computed similar to basic net income per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all the potential common shares pertaining to warrants, stock options, and similar instruments had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. Diluted earnings per share are based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock options and warrants were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method for the outstanding unvested restricted stock, options and warrants, and the if-converted method for the outstanding convertible instruments. Under the treasury stock method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later) and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. Under the if-converted method, outstanding convertible instruments are assumed to be converted into common stock at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later).

Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable, other receivables and investment in funds. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support these receivables. The Company conducts periodic reviews of the financial condition and payment practices of its customers to minimize collection risk on accounts receivable.
The following table sets forth information as to the Company’s customers that accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s sales and accounts receivable for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company. ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” defines fair value and establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement that enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for receivables and current liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of their fair values because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest. The three levels of valuation hierarchy are defined as follows:
| ● | Level 1 inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
| ● | Level 2 inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. |
| ● | Level 3 inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. |
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, other payables and accrued liabilities approximate estimated fair values because of their short maturities.
The carrying amount of the borrowing approximates its fair values since it bears an interest rate which approximates market interest rate.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States Dollar (“$” or “USD”), which is also the functional currency of XMAX (Nova LifeStyle), Nova Furniture, Nova Samoa, Diamond Bar, I Design, Xmax Capital, Xmax Alpha Holdings Ltd, Xmax Beta Holdings Ltd, Xmax Delta Holdings Ltd and Xmax Sigma Holdings Ltd.
The Company’s subsidiary with operations in Malaysia uses its local currency, the Malaysian Ringgit (“RM”), as its functional currency. An entity’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates, which is the currency of the environment in which the entity primarily generates and expends cash. Management’s judgment is essential to determine the functional currency by assessing various indicators, such as cash flows, sales price and market, expenses, financing and inter-company transactions and arrangements.
Foreign currency transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are re-measured at the applicable rates of exchange in effect at that date. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency re-measurement are included in the statements of operations.
The financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at the average of the exchange rates in effect during the reporting period. Stockholders’ equity accounts are translated using the historical exchange rates at the date the entry to stockholders’ equity was recorded, except for the change in retained earnings during the period, which is translated using the historical exchange rates used to translate each period’s income statement. Differences resulting from translating functional currencies to the reporting currency are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in the balance sheets.
Translation of amounts from RM into U.S. dollars has been made at the following exchange rates:

Segment Reporting
An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenue and incur expenses and is identified on the basis of the internal financial reports that are provided to and regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources and assess performance of the segment.
In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s revenue segments have similar economic characteristics and they are managed as a single business unit. The Company uses the “management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. The Company’s CODM has been identified as the chief executive officer (the “CEO”), who reviews consolidated results when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Company. The Company has determined that there is only one reportable operating segment.

Sales to customers by geographic area are determined by reference to the physical product shipment delivery locations requested by the customers. For example, if the products are delivered to a customer in the United States, the sales are recorded as generated in the United States; if the customer directs us to ship its products to China, the sales are recorded as sold in China. The Geographical Analysis is disclosed in Note 15.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. A contract is or contains a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange of a consideration. To assess whether a contract is or contains a lease, the Company assess whether the contract involves the use of an identified asset, whether it has the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from the use of the asset and whether it has the right to control the use of the asset.
The right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date. The Company recognizes operating lease expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Right-of-use of assets
The Company recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e. the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets. All right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment annually. There was no impairment for right-of-use lease assets for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Lease liabilities
Lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the outstanding lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise fixed lease payments, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee and any exercise price under a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. Lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. It is re-measured when there is a change in future lease payments, if there is a change in the estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value
The operating lease is included in operating lease right-of-use assets, operating lease liabilities-current and operating lease liabilities-non-current on the consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Convertible Note
The Company accounts for convertible notes in accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. The notes are initially recorded at their principal amount, net of any applicable debt issuance costs. The Company evaluates the conversion features of its debt instruments to determine whether those features require bifurcation and separate accounting as derivatives.
For convertible notes issued with a conversion price that is fixed and where the conversion feature is considered clearly and closely related to the host contract, the instrument is accounted for as a single liability. Interest expense is recognized using the effective interest method over the term of the note. Upon conversion, the carrying value of the debt is reclassified to stockholders’ equity, and no gain or loss is recognized.

Table of Contents
Accounts Payable and other payables
Accounts payable and other payables represent obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business. These liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument, typically when legal title to goods passes or services are rendered.
Payables are initially measured at their transaction price, which represents the undiscounted amount of cash expected to be paid to satisfy the obligation. The Company classifies these as current liabilities unless the payment is not due within twelve months after the reporting period.
Other loan and borrowing cost
Other loans and borrowings are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, these interest-bearing obligations are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction, or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Debt issuance costs are presented in the balance sheet as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability and are amortized as interest expense over the term of the loan.
Contract liabilities
The Company accounts for contract liabilities under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. These amounts represent the Company’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer.
Advances
are recorded as a contract liability at the time of receipt. The Company recognizes these advances as revenue when (or as) the Company
satisfies its performance obligations under the terms of the contract. The Company evaluates the timing of satisfaction (point-in-time
vs. over-time) based on the transfer of control to the customer. The Company’s contract liabilities amounted to $

New Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In March 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-02—Liabilities (405): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 122. The amendments in this Update are effective immediately and on a fully retrospective basis to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted the ASU in 2025. The adoption did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
On July 4, 2025, the U.S. H.R.1, an act to provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14. (the “OBBBA”) was enacted. The OBBBA introduces multiple tax law and other legislative changes, including modifications to income tax provisions such as domestic research and development expenses, capital expenditures, and U.S. taxation of international earnings; the repeal or acceleration of the sunset of certain tax credits under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act and elimination of certain penalties for violations of certain regulatory credit programs. We have recognized the effects of the OBBBA provisions in our financial results to the extent they are applicable to the three months ended March 31, 2026. We will continue to evaluate the impact of these provisions on our 2026 and subsequent consolidated financial statements, including loss of certain regulatory credit sales tied to our products and changes to the costs of our products.
In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-01, Lease (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements, which clarifies the accounting for leasehold improvements associated with leases between entities under common control (hereinafter referred to as common control lease). ASU 2023-01 requires entities to amortize leasehold improvements associated with common control lease over the useful life to the common control group (regardless of the lease term) as long as the lessee controls the use of the underlying asset through a lease, and to account for any remaining leasehold improvements as a transfer between entities under common control through an adjustment to equity when the lessee no longer controls the underlying asset. This ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been made available for issuance. An entity may apply ASU 2023-01 either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2023-01 will have on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement presentations and disclosures.

Table of Contents
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No.2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”), which modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to require entities to disclose (1) specific categories in the rate reconciliation,(2) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (separated between domestic and foreign) and (3)income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (separated by federal, state and foreign). ASU 2023-09 also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments to international, federal, state and local jurisdictions, among other changes. The guidance is effective for annual period beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The amendments provide a practical expedient and, if applicable, an accounting policy election to simplify the measurement of credit losses for certain receivables and contract assets. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period in which financial statements have not been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment and does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Recently Issued But Not Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued an ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024 03”) to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions (such as cost of sales; selling, general, and administrative expenses; and research and development). The amendments in the ASU require disclosure in the notes to financial statements of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The amendments require that at each interim and annual reporting period an entity: 1. Disclose the amounts of (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil- and gas-producing activities (or other amounts of depletion expense) included in each relevant expense caption. A relevant expense caption is an expense caption presented on the face of the income statement within continuing operations that contains any of the expense categories listed in (a)–(e). 2. Include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current generally accepted accounting principles in the same tabular disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements. 3. Disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. 4) Disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Clarifying the Effective Date (“ASU 2025-01”). The amendments, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this ASU should be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of the ASU or (2) retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2024-03 will have on its consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.
In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The FASB issued ASU 2024-03 on November 4, 2024-03 states that the amendments are effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Following the issuance of ASU 2024-03, the FASB was asked to clarify the initial effective date for entities that do not have an annual reporting period that ends on December 31 (referred to as non-calendar year-end entities). Because of how the effective date guidance was written, a non-calendar year-end entity may have concluded that it would be required to initially adopt the disclosure requirements in ASU 2024-03 in an interim reporting period, rather than in annual reporting period. The FASB’s intent in the basis for conclusions of ASU 2024-03 is clear that all public business entities should initially adopt the disclosure requirements in the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027.

In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity. The amendments provide guidance on identifying the accounting acquirer in transactions involving a variable interest entity. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting period within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment and does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-04, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 18) and Revenue from contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Clarifications to Share-Based Consideration Payable to a Customer. The amendments provide guidance on identifying the accounting acquirer in transactions involving a variable interest entity. The amendments clarify the accounting for share-based consideration payable to a customer under Topic 718 and Topic 606. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting period within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2026. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment and does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The ASU simplifies the capitalization guidance by removing all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages (referred to as “project stages”) throughout ASC 350-40. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of this ASU can be applied prospectively for reporting periods after its effective date; or follow a modified transition approach that is based on the status of the respective projects and whether software costs were capitalized before the date of adoption; or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities. The ASU establishes authoritative guidance in GAAP about accounting for government grants received by business entities, clarifies the appropriate accounting, in an effort to reduce diversity in practice, and increase consistency of application across business entities. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Adoption of this ASU can be applied a modified prospective approach, a modified retrospective approach, or a retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. The ASU clarifies interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of Topic 270. The objective of the amendments is to provide further clarity about the current interim disclosure requirements. The ASU is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Adoption of this ASU can be applied either a prospective or a retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-12, Codification Improvements. The ASU addresses thirty-three items, representing the changes to the Codification that (1) clarify, (2) correct errors, or (3) make minor improvements. Generally, the amendments in this Update are not intended to result in significant changes for most entities. The ASU is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026. The adoption method of this ASU may vary, on an issue-by-issue basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2026, the FASB issued ASU 2026-01—Equity (Topic 505): Initial Measurement of Paid-in-Kind Dividends on Equity-Classified Preferred Stock. The amendments in this Update clarify the initial measurement of paid-in-kind dividends on preferred stock that is classified within equity. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual reporting period in which financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. An entity adopting the amendments in an interim reporting period should apply them as of the beginning of the annual reporting period that includes that interim reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2026-01 will have on its consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.
The Company’s management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, authoritative guidance, if currently adopted, would have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.

Overview
XMax Inc. (the “Company”), formerly known as Nova LifeStyle, Inc., is a distributor of contemporary styled residential and commercial furniture incorporated into a dynamic marketing and sales platform offering retail as well as online selection and global purchase fulfillment. We monitor popular trends and products to create design elements that are then integrated into our product lines that can be used as both stand-alone or whole-room and home furnishing solutions. Through its network of retailers, e-commerce platforms, stagers and hospitality providers, the Company also sells (through an exclusive third-party manufacturing partner) a managed variety of high quality bedding foundation components. The Company has also expanded its business into the development of artificial intelligence technologies, including AI software and platform-based services to support future growth.
The Company’s brand family currently includes XMAX, Nova LifeStyle, Diamond Sofa (www.diamondsofa.com) and Nova Living.
Our customers for furniture business principally consist of distributors and retailers with specific geographic territories that deploy middle to high end private label home furnishings which have very little competitive overlap with our specific furnishing products or product lines. We are constantly seeking to integrate new sources of distribution and manufacturing that are properly aligned with our growth strategy. This allows us to continually focus on building both our overall distribution and manufacturing relationships through a deployment of popular, as well as trend-based, furnishing solutions worldwide.
Our newly developed AI software and platform-based services are to provide our customers access to XMax’s artificial intelligence models through API-based (Application Programming Interface) services. These services are provided via our recently deployed AI platform, enabling the customer to integrate, distribute, and commercialize these capabilities globally under its own branding. Our platform supports high availability and scalable deployment, enabling customers to efficiently integrate advanced AI capabilities into their commercial applications.
We are a U.S. holding company with no material assets in the U.S. other than the ownership interests of our wholly owned subsidiaries through which we market, design and sell residential and commercial furniture and provide AI software and platform-based services. Our subsidiaries include Nova Furniture Limited domiciled in the British Virgin Islands (“Nova Furniture”), Nova Furniture Ltd. domiciled in Samoa (“Nova Samoa”), Diamond Bar Outdoors, Inc. domiciled in California (“Diamond Bar”), Nova Living (M) SDN. BHD. domiciled in Malaysia (“Nova Malaysia”), Nova Living (HK) Group Limited domiciled in Hong Kong (“Nova HK”). We also have a wholly owned subsidiaries Xmax AI Inc. incorporated in Nevada and Xmax Capital Ltd. domiciled in Samoa and its wholly owned subsidiaries Xmax Alpha Holdings Ltd. (the “Xmax Alpha”), Xmax Beta Holdings Ltd., Xmax Delta Holdings Ltd. and Xmax Sigma Holdings Ltd., all domiciled in the Cayman Islands. The Company had three former subsidiaries Bright Swallow International Group Limited domiciled in Hong Kong (“Bright Swallow” or “BSI”) which was sold in January 2020, and Nova Furniture Macao Commercial Offshore Limited domiciled in Macao (“Nova Macao”) which was de-registration and liquidation in January 2021. In February 2022, Nova HK entered a de-registration process and transferred all its assets and business to Nova Malaysia. The process of de-registration and liquidation of Nova HK was completed in February 2023.

On December 12, 2019, we became the sole shareholder of Nova Living (M) SDN. BHD. (“Nova Malaysia”), a company incorporated on July 26, 2019 under the laws of Malaysia. Nova Malaysia marketed and sold high-end physiotherapeutic jade mats for use in therapy clinics, hospitality, and real estate projects in Malaysia and other regions in Southeast Asia. Due to the negative impact caused by COVID-19, we eventually sold the entire jade mats inventory in liquidation sales in June 2023 and existed from Jade Mats business.
On November 5, 2020, we acquired Nova Living (HK) Group Limited (“Nova HK”) at cost of $1,290 which was incorporated in Hong Kong on November 6, 2019. Nova HK took over Nova Macao’s business upon its deregistration, however, it had minimum operations in 2021. In February 2022, Nova HK entered a de-registration process and transferred all its assets and business to Nova Malaysia. The process of de-registration and liquidation of Nova HK was completed in February 2023.
Our experience developing and marketing products for international markets has enabled us to develop the scale, logistics, marketing, manufacturing efficiencies and design expertise that serve as the foundation for us to expand aggressively into the highly attractive U.S., Canada, South America, Asia and Middle Easter markets.
We do not have access to a revolving credit facility. On May 4, 2020, the Company received loan proceeds in the amount of approximately $139,802 under the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). The PPP, established as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), provides for loans to qualifying businesses for amounts up to 2.5 times of the average monthly payroll expenses of the qualifying business. On May 5, 2020, Diamond Bar Outdoors Inc. (“Diamond Bar”) was granted a loan from Cathay Bank in the aggregate amount of $176,294, pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program. On June 19, 2020, Diamond Bar was granted a U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) loan in the aggregate amount of $150,000, pursuant to the Economic Injury Disaster Loan. During the fiscal year of 2025, the Company completed three private placements for gross proceeds of $500,000, a public offering for proceeds of $9 million, two registered direct offerings for approximately $19 million and a convertible note financing for $5 million. The Company also repaid $217,000 debt with its shares of common stock, $6,503 to director and $3,441 to SBA loan for the year ended December 31, 2025. During the first quarter of 2026, the Company also made one registered direct offering for approximately $36 million and one private placement for approximately $7 million. We currently believe that our financial resources will be adequate to finance our operations in the next 12 months. However, in the event that we do need to raise capital in the future, the instability in the securities markets could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital.

Principal Factors Affecting Our Financial Performance
The core focus of the Company’s furniture business today is entirely centered on our products, identifying a fashion-driven generational shift in the general perception and consumption of furniture, being more aware of actual consumer tastes and how best to fulfil and engage that need, and closely integrating product development alongside marketing results in appealing products that adheres to the scope of our target demographic of decision makers in the design, staging and retail fields. A process that is continually refined upon each release cycle, maintaining a singular, cohesive vision. In short, we have better identified our customers and how to cater to them – in the process gaining greater traction with every product launch considerably more so on an international level than ever previous. In addition, we have been developing AI software and platform-based services to provide our customers access to XMax’s artificial intelligence models through API-based (Application Programming Interface) services. These services are provided via our recently deployed AI platform, enabling the customer to integrate, distribute, and commercialize these capabilities globally under its own branding. Our platform supports high availability and scalable deployment, enabling customers to efficiently integrate advanced AI capabilities into their commercial applications. We believe these new strategies will provide us with significant long-term growth opportunities.
Significant factors that we believe could affect our operating results for our furniture business are: (i) prices of our furniture products to our domestic and international retailer and wholesaler customers and their markups to end consumers; (ii) general economic conditions in the U.S., Chinese, and other international markets; and (iii) trade war and tariffs imposed by the United States on products manufactured in China and other Asian countries where we purchase our products; and (iv) high interest rate, inflation and slow- down in real estate market. We believe most of our customers are willing to pay for our high quality and stylish products, timely delivery, and strong production capacity at price levels which we expect will allow us to maintain a relatively high gross profit margin for our products. We do not manufacture our products, but instead we utilize third-party manufacturers. In response to the tariffs imposed by the United States on products manufactured in China, we have been in the process of seeking and shifting a portion of our product manufacturing from third-party manufacturers located in China to third-party manufacturers located in other parts of Asia, such as Vietnam, India and/or Malaysia, countries with lower tariffs. However, due to the quality issue and recent increase of tariff announced by President Trump on products from India and other southeastern Asian countries, we still purchase most of our products from China. Implementation of a relocation of manufacturing (which by necessity includes an assessment of the factory’s ability to deliver the quantity of the product, in accordance with the Company’s specifications, and in accordance with the Company’s quality control requirements) is time-consuming and has a lot of uncertainties such as the increase of the tariff of the products from these countries, and only a small portion of suppliers manufacturing our products has been transitioned from China to Malaysia and India starting in 2020. Most of our manufacturing will continue to be performed in China because the good quality and the intellectual know-how necessary to manufacture certain products is not generally available in other Asian countries. Consumer preference trends favoring high quality and stylish products and lifestyle-based furniture suites should also allow us at least to maintain our gross profit margins. The markets in North America are challenging because such markets are experiencing a slow-down and may be entering a recession due to high interest rate and inflation.
Significant factors that we believe could affect our operating results for our AI software and platform-based service are:
(i) Customer adoption and retention of our newly developed AI software and platform-based services: our revenue growth depends on our ability to attract new customers to our artificial intelligence software and platform-based services. We measure customer adoption through key indicators such as the number of enterprise customers, annual recurring revenue, net dollar-based retention rates, and platform usage volumes. Customer adoption is influenced by the breadth and quality of our AI models and tools, the competitive landscape, and our ability to demonstrate measurable return on investment for our customers. We expect to continue to invest meaningfully in sales and marketing to drive further adoption, and there can be no assurance that such investments will result in proportionate increases in revenue.
(ii) Investment in research and development: our ability to maintain and extend our competitive position depends on our continued investment in research and development, including the development of new AI models, features, and platform capabilities. We have invested, and expect to continue to invest, significant resources in research and development. These investments may increase our operating expenses in the near term and may not yield the anticipated revenue or other benefits on a timely basis, or at all. We believe, however, that continued investment in innovation is essential to our long-term growth strategy.
(iii) Managing the costs of cloud computing infrastructure: our AI software and platform-based services require substantial cloud computing infrastructure, including graphics processing units and other specialized hardware, to train, deploy, and scale our AI models. The cost of compute resources represents a significant component of our cost of revenue and operating expenses. Fluctuations in the pricing and availability of cloud computing capacity may materially affect our gross margins and overall profitability. We seek to optimize our infrastructure costs through improved model efficiency, strategic partnerships with cloud service providers, and the negotiation of favorable pricing arrangements. Our ability to manage these costs effectively as we scale our platform will be a key determinant of our financial performance.
(iv) Competitive landscape for AI software and platform-based services and evolving regulatory landscape governing the development, deployment, and commercialization of artificial intelligence technologies.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews these estimates and assumptions using the currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may cause the Company to revise its estimates. In accordance with ASC 250, the changes in estimates will be recognized in the same period of changes in facts and circumstances. The Company bases its estimates on past experiences and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Estimates are used when accounting for items and matters including, but not limited to, fair value estimation of investment, the allowance for credit loss, valuation of inventories, the valuation of stock-based compensation, income taxes and unrecognized tax benefits, assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, and loss contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Accounts Receivable
Since January 1, 2024, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), using the modified retrospective transition method. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss methodology, which will result in more timely recognition of credit losses. Upon adoption, the Company changed the impairment model to utilize a forward-looking current expected credit losses (CECL) model in place of the incurred loss methodology for financial instruments measured at amortized cost and receivables resulting from the application of ASC 606, including contract assets.
The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses and records the allowance for credit losses as an offset to accounts receivable and the estimated credit losses charged to the allowance is classified as “General and administrative expenses” in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss. The Company assesses collectability by reviewing accounts receivable on aging schedules because the accounts receivable were primarily consisted of receivables arising from product sales. In determining the amount of the allowance for credit losses, the Company considers historical collectability based on past due status, the age of the balances, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors that may affect the Company’s ability to collect from customers. Delinquent account balances are written-off against the allowance for expected credit loss after management has determined that the likelihood of collection is not probable.

We maintained an allowance for expected credit loss of $379 and $258 as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, expected credit losses provision was $121 and $287, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, we had gross receivable of $2,457,617 of which $2,424,846 was over 90 days past due.
Advances to Suppliers
Advances to suppliers represent amounts paid to suppliers in advance for goods that are yet to be delivered and from which future economic benefits are expected to flow to the Company within the normal operating cycle. Based on our historical records and in normal circumstances, we generally receive goods within 4 to 6 months from the date the advance payment is made.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The Company follows ASC Topic 740, which prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods, and income tax disclosures.
Under the provisions of ASC Topic 740, when tax returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.
XMax Inc. (formerly Nova Lifestyle, Inc.) and Diamond Bar are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes. Nova BVI was incorporated in the BVI, Nova Samoa and Xmax Capital was incorporated in Samoa. Xmax Alpha Holdings Ltd, Xmax Beta Holdings Ltd, Xmax Delta Holdings Ltd and Xmas Sigma Holdings Ltd were incorporated in Caymen Island. There is no income tax for companies domiciled in the BVI, Cayman Islands and Samoa. Accordingly, the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not present any income tax provisions related to the BVI, Cayman Islands and Samoa tax jurisdictions where Nova BVI, Nova Samoa, Xmax Capital, Xmax Alpha Holdings Ltd, Xmax Beta Holdings Ltd, Xmax Delta Holdings Ltd and Xmax Sigma Holdings Ltd are domiciled. Nova Malaysia is incorporated in Malaysia and ceased business operations. Nova Malaysia completed its de-registration with the Malaysian government in the first quarter of 2026.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA extends permanently, with modifications, tax provisions enacted as part of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and restores and makes permanent many business provisions, such as full expensing for domestic research and development and capital investments. In addition, the OBBBA makes changes to certain U.S. corporate tax provisions, but many are generally not effective until 2026. The enactment of the OBBBA does not have a material impact on the results from operations for the current period.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Act”) created new taxes on certain foreign-sourced earnings such as global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) under IRC Section 951A, which is effective for the Company for tax years beginning after January 1, 2018. For tax years beginning after December 31, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act renamed GILTI as net CFC tested income (“NCTI”) and modified the Section 951A calculation. For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company has calculated its best estimate of the impact of NCTI, if any, in its income tax provision in accordance with applicable tax law and guidance available as of the date of this filing.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 also amended IRC Section 174 to require specified research and experimental expenditures to be capitalized and amortized for tax years beginning after December 31, 2021. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act subsequently restored current expensing for domestic research and experimental expenditures paid or incurred in tax years beginning after December 31, 2024, while foreign research and experimental expenditures remain subject to capitalization and amortization over 15 years. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company expensed current-year U.S. research and experimental expenditures for federal income tax purposes. The Company did not elect to accelerate the deduction of unamortized domestic research and experimental expenditures from prior years and continues to amortize such amounts over the remaining applicable amortization period. Since the Company’s research and experimental expenditures were incurred within the United States and the amount is immaterial, the Company does not anticipate a material impact to its income tax provision.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the accumulated undistributed earnings generated by its foreign subsidiaries were approximately $21.7 million and $21.7 million of which substantially all was previously subject to U.S. tax, the one-time transition tax on foreign unremitted earnings required by the Tax Act, GILTI, or NCTI, as applicable. Those earnings are considered to be permanently reinvested and accordingly, no deferred tax expense is recorded for U.S. federal and state income tax or applicable withholding taxes.
As of March 31, 2026, unrecognized tax benefits were approximately $0. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate was $0 as of March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2025, unrecognized tax benefits were approximately $0. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate was $0 as of March 31, 2025.
A reconciliation of unrecognized tax benefits excluding interest and penalties (“Gross UTB”) for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, is as follows:
| Gross UTB | ||||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | |||||||
| Balance – January 1 | - | - | ||||||
| Foreign exchange adjustment | - | - | ||||||
| Balance – December 31 | $ | - | $ | - | ||||
| 41 |
Table of Contents
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had cumulatively accrued approximately $0 and $0 for estimated interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits. The Company recorded interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax (benefit)/expense, which totaled $0 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively; and $0 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively, related to the Company’s continuing operations. The Company does not anticipate any significant changes to its unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.
XMax Inc. (formerly Nova Lifestyle) and Diamond Bar are subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes and tax years 2020-2024 remain open to examination by tax authorities in the U.S.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist primarily of computer software acquired for internal use. Acquired intangible assets are initially recorded at the acquisition-date fair value. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. The estimated useful life of computer software is generally 5 years.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenues when our customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which it expects to receive in exchange for those goods. We recognize revenues following the five step model prescribed under ASU No. 606: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation.
Revenue from product sales is recognized when the customer obtains control of our product, which typically occurs upon shipment to the customer. Each customer order is being distinct and separately identifiable from other customer orders as a single performance obligation to deliver the ordered product in exchange for consideration. The Company offers credit sales to customers with credit periods range from 30 to 90 days. We expense incremental costs of obtaining a contract as and when incurred if the expected amortization period of the asset that it would have recognized is one year or less or the amount is immaterial.
Product revenue reserves, which are classified as a reduction in product revenues, are generally characterized in the following categories: discounts, returns and rebates. These reserves are based on estimates of the amounts earned or to be claimed on the related sales and are classified as reductions of accounts receivable as the amount is payable to our customer.
Our sales policy allows for the return of product within the warranty period if the product is defective and the defects are our fault. As alternatives for the product return option, the customers have the option of asking us for a discount for products with quality issues, or of receiving replacement parts from us at no cost. The amount of reserves for return of products, the discount provided to the customers, and cost for the replacement parts were immaterial for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
The Company considers itself acting as a principal for sales of goods which is evidenced by (i) the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified goods, (ii) the Company has inventory risk before the specified goods have been transferred to a customer or after transfer of control to the customer, (iii) the Company has discretion in establishing the price for the specified good. Thus, the Company’s’ revenue is recognized at a point in time when a promised good is delivered to a customer.
We generally expense sales commissions when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded within selling expenses on our unaudited consolidated statements of operations.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are presented in United States Dollar (“$” or “USD”), which is also the functional currency of XMax Inc. (formerly Nova LifeStyle, Inc.), XMax Capital, XMax Alpha, XMax Beta, Nova Furniture, Nova Samoa, Diamond Bar, and i Design.
The Company’s subsidiary with operations in Malaysia uses its local currency, Malaysian Ringgit (“RM”), as its functional currency. An entity’s functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates, which is normally the currency of the environment in which the entity primarily generates and expends cash. Management’s judgment is essential to determine the functional currency by assessing various indicators, such as cash flows, sales price and market, expenses, financing and inter-company transactions and arrangements.
Foreign currency transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are re-measured at the applicable rates of exchange in effect at that date. Gains and losses resulting from foreign currency re-measurement are included in the statements of operations.
The financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at the average of the exchange rates in effect during the reporting period. Stockholders’ equity accounts are translated using the historical exchange rates at the date the entry to stockholders’ equity was recorded, except for the change in accumulated deficits during the period, which is translated using the historical exchange rates used to translate each period’s income statement. Differences resulting from translating functional currencies to the reporting currency are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in the balance sheets.
Translation of amounts from RM into U.S. dollars has been made at the following exchange rates:
| Balance sheet items, except for equity accounts | ||||
| March 31, 2026 | - | |||
| December 31, 2025 | RM4.06 to 1 | |||
| Income statement and cash flow items | ||||
| For the three months ended March 31, 2026 | - | |||
| For the three months ended March 31, 2025 | RM4.45 to 1 |
Segment Reporting
An operating segment is a component of the Company that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenue and incur expenses and is identified on the basis of the internal financial reports that are provided to and regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources and assess performance of the segment.
In accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting, operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s revenue segments have similar economic characteristics and they are managed as a single business unit. The Company uses the “management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments. The Company’s CODM has been identified as the chief executive officer (the “CEO”), who reviews consolidated results when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance of the Company. The Company has determined that there is only one reportable operating segment.
| 43 |
Table of Contents
We concluded that we had one reportable segment under ASC 280 because Diamond Bar is a furniture distributor based in California focusing on customers in the US. Each of our subsidiaries is operated under the same senior management of our company, and we view the operations of Diamond Bar as a whole for making business decisions. Our long-lived assets are mainly property, plant and equipment located in the United States.
Sales to customers by geographic area are determined by reference to the physical product shipment delivery locations requested by our customers. For example, if the products are delivered to a customer in the U.S., the sales are recorded as generated in the U.S.; if the customer directs us to ship its products to China, the sales are recorded as sold in China.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In March 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-02—Liabilities (405): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 122. The amendments in this Update are effective immediately and on a fully retrospective basis to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted the ASU in 2025. The adoption did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
On July 4, 2025, the U.S. H.R.1, an act to provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14. (the “OBBBA”) was enacted. The OBBBA introduces multiple tax law and other legislative changes, including modifications to income tax provisions such as domestic research and development expenses, capital expenditures, and U.S. taxation of international earnings; the repeal or acceleration of the sunset of certain tax credits under the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act and elimination of certain penalties for violations of certain regulatory credit programs. We have recognized the effects of the OBBBA provisions in our financial results to the extent they are applicable to the three months ended March 31, 2026. We will continue to evaluate the impact of these provisions on our 2026 and subsequent consolidated financial statements, including loss of certain regulatory credit sales tied to our products and changes to the costs of our products.
In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-01, Lease (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements, which clarifies the accounting for leasehold improvements associated with leases between entities under common control (hereinafter referred to as common control lease). ASU 2023-01 requires entities to amortize leasehold improvements associated with common control lease over the useful life to the common control group (regardless of the lease term) as long as the lessee controls the use of the underlying asset through a lease, and to account for any remaining leasehold improvements as a transfer between entities under common control through an adjustment to equity when the lessee no longer controls the underlying asset. This ASU will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been made available for issuance. An entity may apply ASU 2023-01 either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2023-01 will have on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement presentations and disclosures.
ln December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No.2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”), which modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to require entities to disclose (1) specific categories in the rate reconciliation,(2) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (separated between domestic and foreign) and (3)income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (separated by federal, state and foreign). ASU 2023-09 also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments to international, federal, state and local jurisdictions, among other changes. The guidance is effective for annual period beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The amendments provide a practical expedient and, if applicable, an accounting policy election to simplify the measurement of credit losses for certain receivables and contract assets. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period in which financial statements have not been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment and does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Recently Issued But Not Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
On November 4, 2024, the FASB issued an ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024 03”) to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions (such as cost of sales; selling, general, and administrative expenses; and research and development). The amendments in the ASU require disclosure in the notes to financial statements of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The amendments require that at each interim and annual reporting period an entity: 1. Disclose the amounts of (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil- and gas-producing activities (or other amounts of depletion expense) included in each relevant expense caption. A relevant expense caption is an expense caption presented on the face of the income statement within continuing operations that contains any of the expense categories listed in (a)–(e). 2. Include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current generally accepted accounting principles in the same tabular disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements. 3. Disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. 4) Disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Clarifying the Effective Date (“ASU 2025-01”). The amendments, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this ASU should be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of the ASU or (2) retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2024-03 will have on its consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.
In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40). The FASB issued ASU 2024-03 on November 4, 2024-03 states that the amendments are effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Following the issuance of ASU 2024-03, the FASB was asked to clarify the initial effective date for entities that do not have an annual reporting period that ends on December 31 (referred to as non-calendar year-end entities). Because of how the effective date guidance was written, a non-calendar year-end entity may have concluded that it would be required to initially adopt the disclosure requirements in ASU 2024-03 in an interim reporting period, rather than in annual reporting period. The FASB’s intent in the basis for conclusions of ASU 2024-03 is clear that all public business entities should initially adopt the disclosure requirements in the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027.
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-03, Business Combinations (Topic 805) and Consolidation (Topic 810): Determining the Accounting Acquirer in the Acquirer in the Acquisition of a Variable Interest Entity. The amendments provide guidance on identifying the accounting acquirer in transactions involving a variable interest entity. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting period within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment and does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-04, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 18) and Revenue from contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Clarifications to Share-Based Consideration Payable to a Customer. The amendments provide guidance on identifying the accounting acquirer in transactions involving a variable interest entity. The amendments clarify the accounting for share-based consideration payable to a customer under Topic 718 and Topic 606. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting period within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2026. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment and does not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The ASU simplifies the capitalization guidance by removing all references to prescriptive and sequential software development stages (referred to as “project stages”) throughout ASC 350-40. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of this ASU can be applied prospectively for reporting periods after its effective date; or follow a modified transition approach that is based on the status of the respective projects and whether software costs were capitalized before the date of adoption; or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the consolidated financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities. The ASU establishes authoritative guidance in GAAP about accounting for government grants received by business entities, clarifies the appropriate accounting, in an effort to reduce diversity in practice, and increase consistency of application across business entities. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Adoption of this ASU can be applied a modified prospective approach, a modified retrospective approach, or a retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements. The ASU clarifies interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of Topic 270. The objective of the amendments is to provide further clarity about the current interim disclosure requirements. The ASU is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Adoption of this ASU can be applied either a prospective or a retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-12, Codification Improvements. The ASU addresses thirty-three items, representing the changes to the Codification that (1) clarify, (2) correct errors, or (3) make minor improvements. Generally, the amendments in this Update are not intended to result in significant changes for most entities. The ASU is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026. The adoption method of this ASU may vary, on an issue-by-issue basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the provisions of this ASU and do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2026, the FASB issued ASU 2026-01—Equity (Topic 505): Initial Measurement of Paid-in-Kind Dividends on Equity-Classified Preferred Stock. The amendments in this Update clarify the initial measurement of paid-in-kind dividends on preferred stock that is classified within equity. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual reporting period in which financial statements have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. An entity adopting the amendments in an interim reporting period should apply them as of the beginning of the annual reporting period that includes that interim reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of ASU 2026-01 will have on its consolidated financial statement presentation or disclosures.
We do not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, authoritative guidance, if currently adopted, would have a material impact on our financial statement presentation or disclosures.

Sales
Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $1.78 million, a decrease of 32% from $2.64 million for the same period of 2025. This decrease in sales resulted primarily from 36.92% decrease in sales volume, while partially offset by 7.16% increase in average selling price. Our three largest selling product categories for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were sofa, beds and coffee tables, which accounted for approximately 58%, 11% and 10% of sales, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the three largest selling categories were sofas, chairs and beds, which accounted for approximately 55%, 10% and 9% of sales, respectively.
The $0.86 million decrease in sales for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period of 2025, was mainly due to decreased sales to North America. Sales to North America decreased by 32% to $1.78 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $2.62 million for the same period of 2025, such decrease mainly due to decrease in sales volume by 37% from the customers in North America. Sales to other countries decreased by $0.02 million to $1,519 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $0.02 million for the same period of 2025, primary due to less sales order received from our customers in other countries.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales consists primarily of costs of finished goods and materials purchased from third-party manufacturers. Total cost of sales decreased by 37% to $0.90 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1.43 million for the same period of 2025. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales decreased to 50% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 54% for the same period of 2025. The decrease in cost of sales in dollar term and in cost of sales as a percentage of sales are a result of selling more products with higher profit margins.
Gross Profit
Gross profit was $0.88 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $1.20 million for the same period of 2025, representing a decrease in gross profit of $0.32 million. Our gross profit margin was 50% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 46% for the same period of 2025. The decrease in gross profit in dollar term was mainly due to a result of less sales. The increase in gross profit in percentage was mainly due to selling more products with higher profit margin.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses consisted of selling, general and administrative expenses, and research and development. Operating expenses were $1.42 million for the three months ended December 31, 2026, compared to $1.40 million for the same period of 2025. Selling expenses increased by 13%, or $0.04 million, to $0.37 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $0.33 million for the same period of 2025, primarily due to increased marketing and advertising expenses. Also, general and administrative expenses decreased by 2%, or $0.02 million, to $1.05 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $1.07 million for the same period of 2025, primarily due to a decrease in accounting and auditing fee of $0.04 million and consulting fee of $0.11 million, while the decrease was partially offset by an increase in legal and professional fee of $0.08 million and travel expense of $0.02 million.
Other Income (Expenses), Net

Net Income (Loss)
As a result of the foregoing, our net income was $0.19 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $0.34 million of net loss for the same period of 2025.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal demands for liquidity are related to our efforts to increase sales and purchase inventory, and for expenditures related to sales distribution and general corporate purposes. We intend to meet our liquidity requirements, including capital expenditures related to purchase of inventories and the expansion of our business, primarily through cash flow provided by operations and collections of accounts receivable.
We rely primarily on internally generated cash flow and available working capital to support growth. We may seek additional financing in the form of bank loans or other credit facilities or funds raised through offerings of our equity or debt, if and when we determine such offerings are required. As of March 31, 2026, we do not have any credit facilities. We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents and anticipated cash receipts from sales of products will be sufficient to meet our anticipated working capital requirements and capital expenditures for the next 12 months.
We had working capital of $18,187,987 at March 31, 2026, an increase of $8,798,031 from net working capital of $9,389,956 at December 31, 2025. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 12.99-to-1 at March 31, 2026.

The increase in cash outflow was attributable primarily to (i) a decrease in cash inflow of $0.21 million for inventory to $0.50 million cash inflow for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $0.72 million cash inflow for the same period of 2025, such decrease in cash inflow being mainly due to we purchased less products from our suppliers due to reciprocal tariff took effective in April 2025; (ii) an increase in cash outflow of $0.26 million for other current assets to $0.08 million cash outflow for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $0.19 million cash inflow for the same period of 2025, such increase in cash outflow being mainly due to we made prepayments to our service providers. The increase in operating cash outflow was partially offset by (i) increase in cash inflow of $0.25 million of accounts payable to cash outflow of $0.20 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from the accounts payable of cash outflow of $0.44 million for the same period of 2025, such increase in cash inflow being mainly due to purchase more products on credits; (ii) increase in cash inflow of $0.13 million of contract liabilities to cash inflow of $0.03 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from the contract liabilities of cash outflow of $0.10 million for the same period of 2025, such increase in cash inflow being primarily due to received more deposits from our customers; (iii) increase in cash inflow of $0.14 million of accrued liabilities and other payables to cash outflow of $0.45 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from the accrued liabilities and other payables of cash outflow of $0.60 million for the same period of 2025, such increase in cash inflow being primarily due to that we delayed payments to our service provides.

For a new product, the normal lead time from new product R&D, prototype, and mass production to delivery of goods from our suppliers to us is approximately six to nine months after we make advance payments to our suppliers. For other products, the typical time is 4-6 months after our advance payment.
