Although
the Company indirectly holds percentage of shares of these entities less than 50%, the subsidiaries of the Company directly hold
more than 50% of shares of these entities, and therefore, they are still consolidated into the Company.
F-8
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates made by management include, but
are not limited to, allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of real estate assets, allocation of development costs and capitalized
interest to sold lots, fair value of the investments, the valuation allowance of deferred taxes, and contingencies. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.
In
our property development business, land acquisition costs are allocated to each lot based on the area method, the size of the lot compared
to the total size of all lots in the project. Development costs and capitalized interest are allocated to lots sold based on the total
expected development and interest costs of the completed project and allocating a percentage of those costs based on the selling price
of the sold lot compared to the expected sales values of all lots in the project.
If
allocation of development costs and capitalized interest based on the projection and relative expected sales value is impracticable,
those costs could also be allocated based on area method, the size of the lot compared to the total size of all lots in the project.
Transactions
between Entities under Common Control
On
March 12, 2021, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with Chan Heng Fai, the founder, Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, for four proposed transactions, consisting of (i) purchase of certain warrants (the “Warrants”)
to purchase 1,500,000,000 shares of Alset International Limited, which was valued at $28,363,966; (ii) purchase of all of the issued
and outstanding stock of LiquidValue Development Pte Ltd. (“LVD”), which was valued at $173,395; (iii) purchase of 62,122,908
ordinary shares in True Partner Capital Holding Limited (HKG: 8657) (“True Partner”), which was valued at $6,729,629; and
(iv) purchase of 4,775,523 shares of the common stock of American Pacific Bancorp Inc. (“APB”), which was valued at $28,653,138.
The total amount of above four transactions was $63,920,129, payable on the Closing Date by the Company, in the convertible promissory
notes (“Alset CPNs”), which, subject to the terms and conditions of the Alset CPNs and the Company’s shareholder approval,
shall be convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock (“AEI Common Stock”), par value $0.001 per share, at
the conversion price of AEI’s Stock Market Price. AEI’s Stock Market Price shall be $5.59 per share, equivalent to the average
of the five closing per share prices of AEI’s Common Stock preceding January 4, 2021 as quoted by Bloomberg L.P. The above four
acquisitions from Chan Heng Fai were transactions between entities under common control.
On
October 15, 2020, American Pacific Bancorp (which subsequently became a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company) entered into an acquisition
agreement to acquire 3,500,001 common shares of HengFeng Finance Limited (“HFL”), representing 100% of the common shares
of HFL, in consideration for $1,500,000, to be satisfied by the issuance and allotment of 250,000 shares of the Class A Common Stock
of American Pacific Bancorp. HFL is incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability. The principal activities of HFL are money lending,
securities trading and investment. This transaction closed on April 21, 2021. This transaction between the Company and Chan Heng Fai
is under common control of Chan Heng Fai.
The
common control transactions resulted in the following basis of accounting for the financial reporting periods:
●
The
acquisition of the Warrants and True Partner stock were accounted for prospectively as of March 12, 2021 and they did not represent
a change in reporting entity.
●
The
acquisition of LVD, APB and HFL was under common control and was consolidated in accordance with ASC 850-50. The consolidated financial
statements were retrospectively adjusted for the acquisition of LVD, APB and HFL, and the operating results of LVD, APB and HFL as
of January 1, 2020 for comparative purposes.
AEI’s
stock price was $10.03 on March 12, 2021, the commitment date. The Beneficial Conversion Feature (“BCF”) intrinsic value
was $50,770,192 for the four convertible promissory notes and was recorded as debt discount of convertible notes after these transactions.
The debt discount attributable to the BCF is amortized over period from issuance to the date that the debt becomes convertible using
the effective interest method. If the debt is converted, the discount is amortized to finance cost in full immediately. On May 13, 2021
and June 14, 2021 all Alset CPNs of $63,920,128 and accrued interest of $306,438 were converted into 2,123 shares of Series B preferred
stock and 9,163,965 shares of common stock of the Company.
F-9
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and at the bank and short-term deposits with financial institutions that are readily convertible
to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in values. There were no cash equivalents as of June 30,
2022 and December 31, 2021.
Restricted
Cash
As
a condition to the loan agreement with the Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (“M&T Bank”), the Company was required
to maintain a minimum of $2,600,000 in an interest-bearing account maintained by the lender as additional security for the loan. The
funds were required to remain as collateral for the loan until the loan is paid off in full and the loan agreement terminated. On March
15, 2022 approximately $2,300,000 was released from collateral, leaving approximately $300,000 as collateral for outstanding letters
of credit. The Company also has an escrow account with M&T Bank to deposit a portion of cash proceeds from lot sales. The funds in
the escrow account were specifically to be used for the payment of the loan from M&T Bank. The funds were required to remain in the
escrow account for the loan payment until the loan agreement terminates. In May 2022 the funds from this escrow account were released
and the account closed. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the total balance of these two accounts was $309,137 and $4,399,984,
respectively.
As
a condition to the loan agreement with National Australian Bank Limited in conjunction with the Perth project, an Australian real estate
development project, the Company is required to maintain Australian Dollar 50,000, in a non-interest-bearing account. As of June 30,
2022 and December 31, 2021, the account balance was $34,445 and $36,316, respectively. These funds will remain as collateral for the
loans until paid in full.
The
Company puts money into brokerage accounts specifically for equity investment. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the cash balance
in these brokerage accounts was $325,738 and $304,570, respectively.
Account
Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Account
receivables is stated at amounts due from buyers, contractors, and all third parties, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. As of
June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the balance of account receivables was $169,725 and $39,622, respectively. Approximately $0 and
$2,500 of account receivables as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, was from DSS with a merchant agreement, under
which the Company uses DSS credit card platform to collect money from our direct sales.
The
Company monitors its account receivables balances on a monthly basis to ensure that they are collectible. On a quarterly basis, the Company
uses its historical experience to estimate its allowance for doubtful account receivables. The Company’s allowance for doubtful
accounts represents an estimate of the losses expected to be incurred based on specifically identified accounts as well as nonspecific
amount, when determined appropriate. Generally, the amount of the allowance is primarily decided by division management’s historical
experience, the delinquency trends, the resolution rates, the aging of receivables, the credit quality indicators and financial health
of specific customers. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the allowance was $0.
Inventories
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method and includes all costs
in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary
course of business less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. As of December 31, 2021, inventory consisted of finished goods
from HWH World Inc. As of June 30, 2022, inventory consisted of finished goods from HWH World Inc. and Hapi Cafe Korea Inc. The Company
continuously evaluates the need for reserve for obsolescence and possible price concessions required to write-down inventories to net
realizable value.

Investment
Securities
Investment
Securities at Fair Value

(“APM” formerly known as American Premium Water Corp.) are publicly traded companies and the fair value of such securities

Investment
Securities at Cost
Investments
in equity securities without readily determinable fair values are measured at cost minus impairment adjusted by observable price changes
in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. These investments are measured at fair value on
a nonrecurring basis when there are events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect. An impairment loss
is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds
the fair value of the investment.
The
Company had an equity holding in Vivacitas Oncology Inc. (“Vivacitas”), a private company that is currently not listed on
an exchange. We measured Vivacitas at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly
transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. Our ownership in Vivacitas was sold on March 18, 2021 to DSS
for $2,480,000. The difference of $2,279,872 between the selling price and our original investment cost was recorded as additional paid
capital considering a related party transaction. For further details on this transaction, refer to Note 8 – Related Party Transactions,

There
has been no indication of impairment or changes in observable prices via transactions of similar securities and investments are still
carried at cost.
Equity
Method Investment
The
Company accounts for equity investment in entities with significant influence under equity-method accounting. Under this method, the
Group’s pro rata share of income (loss) from investment is recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive
income. Dividends received reduce the carrying amount of the investment. When the Company’s share of loss in an equity-method investee
equals or exceeds its carrying value of the investment in that entity, the equity method investment can be reduced below zero based on
losses, if the Company either is liable for the obligations of the investee or provides for losses in excess of the investment when imminent
return to profitable operations by the investee appears to be assured. Otherwise, the Company does not recognize its share of equity
method losses exceeding its carrying amount of the investment, but discloses the losses in the footnotes. Equity-method investment is
reviewed for impairment by assessing if the decline in market value of the investment below the carrying value is other-than-temporary.
In making this determination, factors are evaluated in determining whether a loss in value should be recognized. These include consideration
of the intent and ability of the Group to hold investment and the ability of the investee to sustain an earnings capacity, justifying
the carrying amount of the investment. Impairment losses are recognized in other expense when a decline in value is deemed to be other-than-temporary.

a result of the deconsolidation, the Company recognized gain of approximately $28.2 million. The gain represents the difference between
the fair value of retained equity method investment of $30.8 million and $2.6 million, the Company’s investment percentage of carrying
amount of APB’s net assets of $2.9 million. Considering the transaction was between related parties, the Company recorded the gain

Variable
Interest Entity
Under
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation,
when a reporting entity is the primary beneficiary of an entity that is a variable interest entity (“VIE”), as defined in
ASC 810, the VIE must be consolidated into the financial statements of the reporting entity. The determination of which owner is the
primary beneficiary of a VIE requires management to make significant estimates and judgments about the rights, obligations, and economic
interests of each interest holder in the VIE.
The
Company evaluates its interests in VIEs on an ongoing basis and consolidates any VIE in which it has a controlling financial interest
and is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. A controlling financial interest has both of the following characteristics: (i) the power
to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance; and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses
of the VIE that could potentially be significant to it or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the
VIE.
HWH
World Company Limited
HWH
World Co. is a direct sales company in Thailand. The Company has a 19% ownership and loaned $187,500 with zero interest and due on demand,
to HWH World Co. The current level of equity in HWH World Co. is not sufficient to determine if HWH World Co. can operate on its own
without additional subordinated financial support. The Company has a variable interest in HWH World Co., however, the Company is not
deemed to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to HWH World Co. Ltd. The Company does not also have
the ultimate power over the activities which can impact VIE’s economic performance, like developing company budgets or overseeing
and controlling the management. The power to direct the activities are held by the manager in Thailand who owns 51% of the HWH World
Co. Therefore, the Company is not a primary beneficiary of this VIE and does not consolidate it. On June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021
variable interest and amount receivable in the non-consolidated VIE was $236,699 and $236,699, respectively, which represents the Company’s
maximum risk of loss from non-consolidated VIE. The Company applied ASC 321 and measured HWH World Co. investment at cost, less any impairment,
plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same
issuer.

American
Medical REIT Inc.
The
Company owned 3.4%
of AMRE and made a loan in the amount of $8,350,000to
AMRE, as well as two loans of $200,000each,
all with 8%
per annum interest rate. One of the $200,000loans
was due on March 3, 2022, the other one is due on October 29, 2024. The $8,350,000loan
is due on November 29, 2023. The Company has a variable interest in AMRE. However, the Company is not deemed to absorb losses or
receive benefits that could potentially be significant to AMRE. The Company does not also have the ultimate power over the
activities which can impact VIE’s economic performance, like developing company budgets or overseeing and controlling the
management. The power to direct these activities are held by the AMRE’s largest shareholder which owns approximately 80.8%
of AMRE and AMRE’s management team. Therefore, the Company is not a primary beneficiary of this VIE and does not consolidate
it. In March 2022, the Company converted both $200,000loans
and accrued interests, together with accompanying warrants into AMRE common shares. After the conversion the Company owns 15.8%
of AMRE. On June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 variable interest and amount receivable
in the non-consolidated VIE was $8,802,959 and $8,901,285,
respectively, which represents the Company’s maximum risk of loss from non-consolidated VIE.
Real
Estate Assets
Real
estate assets are recorded at cost, except when real estate assets are acquired that meet the definition of a business combination in
accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 805 - “Business Combinations”, which
acquired assets are recorded at fair value. Interest, property taxes, insurance and other incremental costs (including salaries) directly
related to a project are capitalized during the construction period of major facilities and land improvements. The capitalization period
begins when activities to develop the parcel commence and ends when the asset constructed is completed. The capitalized costs are recorded
as part of the asset to which they relate and are reduced when lots are sold.
The
Company capitalized construction costs of approximately $2.6 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021,
respectively. The Company capitalized construction costs of approximately $3 million and $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30,
2022 and 2021, respectively.
The
Company’s policy is to obtain an independent third-party valuation for each major project in the United States as part of our assessment
of identifying potential triggering events for impairment. Management may use the market comparison method to value other relatively
small projects, such as the project in Perth, Australia. In addition to the annual assessment of potential triggering events in accordance
with ASC 360 – Property Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360”), the Company applies a fair value-based impairment test
to the net book value assets on an annual basis and on an interim basis if certain events or circumstances indicate that an impairment
loss may have occurred.
The
Company did not record impairment on any of its projects during the three and six months ended on June 30, 2022 and 2021.
Properties
under development
Properties
under development are properties being constructed for sale in the ordinary course of business, rather than to be held for the Company’s
own use, rental or capital appreciation.
Rental
Properties
Rental
properties are acquired with the intent to be rented to tenants. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and the year ended
December 31, 2021, the Company signed multiple purchase agreements to acquire 3 and 109 homes, respectively. By June 30, 2022, all
of the 112 homes were closed with an aggregate purchase cost of $25,663,582.
These homes are located in Montgomery and Harris Counties, Texas. All of these purchased homes are properties of our rental
business.
F-15
Investments
in Single-Family Residential Properties
The
Company accounts for its investments in single-family residential properties as asset acquisitions and records these acquisitions at
their purchase price. The purchase price is allocated between land, building, improvements and existing leases based upon their relative
fair values at the date of acquisition. The purchase price for purposes of this allocation is inclusive of acquisition costs which typically
include legal fees, title fees, property inspection and valuation fees, as well as other closing costs.
Building
improvements and buildings are depreciated over estimated useful lives of approximately 10 to 27.5 years, respectively, using the straight-line
method.
The
Company assesses its investments in single-family residential properties for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances
indicate that carrying amounts of the assets may not be fully recoverable. When such events occur, management determines whether there
has been impairment by comparing the asset’s carrying value with its fair value. Should impairment exist, the asset is written
down to its estimated fair value. The Company did not recognize any impairment losses during three and six months ended June 30, 2022
and 2021.
Revenue
Recognition and Cost of Revenue
ASC
606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), establishes principles for reporting information about the
nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts to provide goods or services
to customers. The Company adopted this new standard on January 1, 2018 under the modified retrospective method. The adoption of this
new standard did not have a material effect on our financial statements.
In
accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized
reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services. The provisions
of ASC 606 include a five-step process by which the determination of revenue recognition, depicting the transfer of goods or services
to customers in amounts reflecting the payment to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC
606 requires the Company to apply the following steps:
(1)
identify the contract with the customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price;
(4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, performance
obligations are satisfied.
The
following represents the Company’s revenue recognition policies by Segments:
Real
Estate
Property
Sales
The
Company’s main business is land development. The Company purchases land and develops it for building into residential communities.
The developed lots are sold to builders (customers) for the construction of new homes. The builders enter into sales contracts with the
Company before they take the lots. The prices and timeline are determined and agreed upon in the contracts. The builders do the inspections
to make sure all conditions and requirements in contracts are met before purchasing the lots. A detailed breakdown of the five-step process
for the revenue recognition of the Ballenger project, which represented approximately 42% and 70%, respectively, of the Company’s
revenue in the six months ended on June 30, 2022 and 2021, is as follows:
●
Identify
the contract with a customer.
The
Company has signed agreements with the builders for developing the raw land to ready to build lots. The contract has agreed upon prices,
timelines, and specifications for what is to be provided.
●
Identify
the performance obligations in the contract.
Performance
obligations of the Company include delivering developed lots to the customer, which are required to meet certain specifications that
are outlined in the contract. The customer inspects all lots prior to accepting title to ensure all specifications are met.
F-16
●
Determine
the transaction price.
The
transaction price per lot is fixed and specified in the contract. Any subsequent change orders or price changes are required to be approved
by both parties.
●
Allocate
the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract.
Each
lot or a group of lots is considered to be a separate performance obligation, for which the specified price in the contract is allocated
to.
●
Recognize
revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.
The
builders do the inspections to make sure all conditions/requirements are met before taking title of lots. The Company recognizes revenue
at a point in time when title is transferred. The Company does not have further performance obligations or continuing involvement once
title is transferred.
Rental
Revenue
The
Company leases real estate properties to its tenants under leases that are predominately classified as operating leases, in accordance
with ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). Real estate rental revenue is comprised of minimum base rent and revenue from the collection
of lease termination fees.
Rent
from tenants is recorded in accordance with the terms of each lease agreement on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease.
Rental revenue recognition begins when the tenant controls the space and continues through the term of the related lease. Generally,
at the end of the lease term, the Company provides the tenant with a one year renewal option, including mostly the same terms and conditions
provided under the initial lease term, subject to rent increases.
The
Company defers rental revenue related to lease payments received from tenants in advance of their due dates. These amounts are presented
within deferred revenues and other payables on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Rental
revenue is subject to an evaluation for collectability on several factors, including payment history, the financial strength of the tenant
and any guarantors, historical operations and operating trends of the property, and current economic conditions. If our evaluation of
these factors indicates that it is not probable that we will recover substantially all of the receivable, rental revenue is limited to
the lesser of the rental revenue that would be recognized on a straight-line basis (as applicable) or the lease payments that have been
collected from the lessee. Differences between rental revenue recognized and amounts contractually due under the lease agreements are
credited or charged to straight-line rent receivable or straight-line rent liability, as applicable. For the six months ended June 30,
2022, the Company did not recognize any deferred revenue and collected all rents due.
Sale
of the Front Foot Benefit Assessments
We
have established a front foot benefit (“FFB”) assessment on all of the NVR lots. This is a 30-year annual assessment allowed
in Frederick County which requires homeowners to reimburse the developer for the costs of installing public water and sewer to the lots.
These assessments become effective as homes are settled, at which time we can sell the collection rights to investors who will pay an
upfront lump sum, enabling us to more quickly realize the revenue. The selling prices range from $3,000 to $4,500 per home depending
the type of the home. Our total revenue from the front foot benefit assessment is approximately $1 million. To recognize revenue of the
FFB assessment, both our and NVR’s performance obligation have to be satisfied. Our performance obligation is completed once we
complete the construction of water and sewer facility and close the lot sales with NVR, which inspects these water and sewer facility
prior to close lot sales to ensure all specifications are met. NVR’s performance obligation is to sell homes they build to homeowners.
Our FFB revenue is recognized on quarterly basis after NVR closes sales of homes to homeowners. The agreement with these FFB investors
is not subject to amendment by regulatory agencies and thus our revenue from the FFB assessment is not either. During the three months
ended on June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized revenue of $37,725 and $141,575 from the FFB assessments, respectively. During the six
months ended on June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recognized revenue of $116,088 and $248,646 from the FFB assessments, respectively.

Cost
of Revenues
Real
Estate
●
Cost
of Real Estate Sale
All
of the costs of real estate sales are from our land development business. Land acquisition costs are allocated to each lot based on the
area method, the size of the lot comparing to the total size of all lots in the project. Development costs and capitalized interest are
allocated to lots sold based on the total expected development and interest costs of the completed project and allocating a percentage
of those costs based on the selling price of the sold lot compared to the expected sales values of all lots in the project.
If
allocation of development costs and capitalized interest based on the projection and relative expected sales value is impracticable,
those costs could also be allocated based on area method, the size of the lot comparing to the total size of all lots in the project.

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

Product
Direct Sales
The
Company’s net sales consist of product sales. The Company’s performance obligation is to transfer its products to its third-party
independent distributors (“Distributors”). The Company generally recognizes revenue when product is shipped to its Distributors.
The
Company’s Distributors may receive distributor allowances, which are comprised of discounts, rebates and wholesale commission payments
from the Company. Distributor allowances resulting from the Company’s sales of its products to its Distributors are recorded against
net sales because the distributor allowances represent discounts from the suggested retail price.
In
addition to distributor allowances, the Company compensates its sales leader Distributors with leadership incentives for services rendered,
relating to the development, retention, and management of their sales organizations. Leadership incentives are payable based on achieved
sales volume, which are recorded in general and administrative expenses. The Company recognizes revenue when it ships products. The Company
receives the net sales price in cash or through credit card payments at the point of sale.
If
a Distributor returns a product to the Company on a timely basis, he/she may obtain a replacement product from the Company for such returned
products. In addition, the Company maintains a buyback program pursuant to which it will repurchase products sold to a Distributor who
has decided to leave the business. Allowances for product returns, primarily in connection with the Company’s buyback program,
are provided at the time the sale is recorded. This accrual is based upon historical return rates for each country and the relevant return
pattern, which reflects anticipated returns to be received over a period of up to 12 months following the original sale.
●
Annual
Membership
The
Company collects an annual membership fee from its Distributors. The fee is fixed, paid in full at the time of joining the membership
and non-refundable. The membership provides the member access to purchase products at a discount, access to certain back-office services,
receive commissions for signing up new members, and attend corporate events. The Company recognizes revenue associated with the membership
over the period of the membership. Before the membership fee is recognized as revenue, it is recorded as deferred revenue. Deferred revenue
relating to membership was $89,880 and $728,343 at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. During 2021, the Company temporarily suspended the sale of its membership as it is focusing on developing new market
strategy.

Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”.
ASC 718 requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including
stock options, based on the grant date fair value of the award and to recognize it as compensation expense over the period the employee
is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. Stock option forfeitures are recognized at the
date of employee termination. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2018-07 for the accounting of share-based payments granted
to non-employees for goods and services. During the three and six months ended on June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company recorded $0 and
$73,292 as stock-based compensation expense.
Foreign

Items
included in the financial statements of each entity in the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment
in which the entity operates (“functional currency”). The financial statements of the Company are presented in U.S. dollars
(the “reporting currency”).
The
functional and reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar (“U.S. dollar”). The financial records of the
Company’s subsidiaries located in Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia and South Korea are maintained in their local currencies, the
Singapore Dollar (S$), Hong Kong Dollar (HK$), Australian Dollar (“AUD”) and South Korean Won (“KRW”), which
are also the functional currencies of these entities.
Transactions
in foreign currencies
Transactions
in currencies other than the functional currency during the periods are converted into functional currency at the applicable rates of
exchange prevailing when the transactions occurred. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in the statement of operations.
The
majority of the Company’s foreign currency transaction gains or losses come from the effects of foreign exchange rate changes on
the intercompany loans between Singapore entities and U.S. entities. The Company recorded foreign exchange gain of $2,077,709 and $958,334
during the three months ended on June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company recorded foreign exchange gain of $2,485,804 and $2,421,031
during the six months ended on June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The foreign currency transactional gains and losses are recorded
in operations.

Translation
of consolidated entities’ financial statements
Monetary
assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the
rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. The Company’s entities with functional currency of S$, HK$, AUD and KRW, translate
their operating results and financial positions into the U.S. dollar, the Company’s reporting currency. Assets and liabilities
are translated using the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenue, expense, gains and losses are translated using
the average rate for the year. Translation adjustments are reported as cumulative translation adjustments and are shown as a separate
component of comprehensive income (loss).
The
Company recorded other comprehensive loss of $3,514,595 from foreign currency translation for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and
$1,070,191 loss for the three months ended June 30, 2021, in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The Company recorded other comprehensive
loss of $4,163,735 from foreign currency translation for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and $2,839,631 loss for the six months ended
June 30, 2021, in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Non-controlling
interests
Non-controlling
interests represent the equity in subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to owners of the Company, and are presented separately
in the condensed consolidated statements of operation and comprehensive income, and within equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance
Sheets, separately from equity attributable to owners of the Company.
On June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the aggregate non-controlling interests
in the Company were $12,844,123 and $21,912,268, respectively.
Capitalized
Financing Costs
Financing
costs, such as loan origination fee, administration fee, interests, and other related financing costs should be capitalized and recorded
on the balance sheet, if these financing activities are directly associated with the development of real estate.
Capitalized
financing costs are allocated to lots sold based on the total expected development and interest costs of the completed project and allocating
a percentage of those costs based on the selling price of the sold lot compared to the expected sales values of all lots in the project.
If the allocation of capitalized financing costs based on the projection and relative expected sales value is impracticable, those costs
could also be allocated based on an area method, which uses the size of the lots compared to the total project area and allocates costs
based on their size.
As
of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the capitalized financing costs were $3,247,739.
Beneficial
Conversion Features
The
Company evaluates the conversion feature for whether it was beneficial as described in ASC 470-30. The intrinsic value of a beneficial
conversion feature inherent to a convertible note payable, which is not bifurcated and accounted for separately from the convertible
note payable and may not be settled in cash upon conversion, is treated as a discount to the convertible note payable. This discount
is amortized over the period from the date of issuance to the date the note is due using the effective interest method. If the note payable
is retired prior to the end of its contractual term, the unamortized discount is expensed in the period of retirement to interest expense.
In general, the beneficial conversion feature is measured by comparing the effective conversion price, after considering the relative
fair value of detachable instruments included in the financing transaction, if any, to the fair value of the shares of common stock at
the commitment date to be received upon conversion.

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting
pronouncement adopted
In
October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract
Liabilities from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2021-08 requires the company acquiring contract assets and contract liabilities
obtained in a business combination to recognize and measure them in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”.
At the acquisition date, the company acquiring the business should record related revenue, as if it had originated the contract. Before
the update such amounts were recognized by the acquiring company at fair value. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including
in interim periods, for any financial statements that have not yet been issued. The Company plans to adopt these requirements prospectively,
effective on the first day of the year 2023.
Accounting
pronouncement not yet adopted
In
June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on
Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 requires financial assets measured at amortized cost to be presented
at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events,
including historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported
amounts. An entity must use judgment in determining the relevant information and estimation methods that are appropriate in its circumstances.
ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal
years, and a modified retrospective approach is required, with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning
of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. In November of 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, which delayed the
implementation of ASU 2016-13 to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 for smaller reporting companies. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13 on its future consolidated financial statements.
In
March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting.
The amendments in this update provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)
to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments
in this update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate
expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The Company’s line of credit agreement provides procedures for determining
a replacement or alternative rate in the event that LIBOR is unavailable. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities
as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-04 on its future consolidated
financial statements.
In
August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts
in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. The guidance removes
certain accounting models which separate the embedded conversion features from the host contract for convertible instruments. Either
a modified retrospective method of transition or a fully retrospective method of transition is permissible for the adoption of this standard.
Update No. 2020-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 for smaller reporting companies, including interim
periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted no earlier than the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2020. The
Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-06 on its future consolidated financial statements.

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

of an event of default.

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

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Lots
Sales Agreement
On
November 23, 2015, SeD Maryland Development LLC completed the $15,700,000 acquisition of Ballenger Run, a 197-acre land sub-division
development located in Frederick County, Maryland. Previously, on May 28, 2014, the RBG Family, LLC entered into a $15,000,000 assignable
real estate sales contract with NVR, by which RBG Family, LLC would facilitate the sale of the 197 acres of Ballenger Run to NVR. On
December 10, 2014, NVR assigned this contract to SeD Maryland Development, LLC through execution of an assignment and assumption agreement
and entered into a series of lot purchase agreements by which NVR would purchase 443 subdivided residential lots from SeD Maryland Development,
LLC. On December 31, 2018, SeD Maryland entered into the Third Amendment to the Lot Purchase Agreement for Ballenger Run with NVR. Pursuant
to the Third Amendment, SeD Maryland will convert the 5.9 acre CCRC parcel to 36 lots (the 28 feet wide villa lot) and sell to NVR. SeD
Maryland pursued the required zoning approval to change the number of such lots from 85 to 121, which was approved in July 2019. Subsequently,
SeD Maryland Development signed Fourth Amendment to the Lot Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which NVR agreed to purchase all of the new
121 lots.
During
the three months ended on June 30, 2022 and 2021, NVR purchased 0 and 31 lots, respectively. During the six months ended on June 30,
2022 and 2021, NVR purchased 3 and 58 lots, respectively. Through June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, NVR had purchased a total of 3
and 476 lots, respectively.
Certain
arrangements for the sale of buildable lots to NVR require the Company to credit NVR with an amount equal to one year of the FFB assessment.
Under ASC 606, the credits to NVR are not in exchange for a distinct good or service and accordingly, the amount of the credit was recognized
as the reduction of revenue. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the accrued balance due to NVR was $189,475and $188,125, respectively.
Leases
The
Company leases offices in Maryland, Singapore, Magnolia, Texas, Hong Kong and South Korea through leased spaces aggregating approximately
15,811 square feet, under leases expiring on various dates from August 2022 to March 2024. The leases have rental rates ranging from
$2,300 to $21,500 per month. Our total rent expense under these office leases was $156,470 and $140,271 in the three months ended June
30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Our total rent expense under these office leases was $312,940 and $272,985 in the six months ended June
30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The following table outlines the details of lease terms:

The
Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”) to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability
for all the leases with terms greater than twelve months. We elected the practical expedient to not recognize operating lease right-of-use
assets and operating lease liabilities for lease agreements with terms less than 12 months. Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating
lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement
date. As our leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rates, we estimate our incremental borrowing rates to discount the
lease payments based on information available at lease commencement. Our incremental borrowings rates are 3.9% in 2022 and 2021, which
were used as the discount rates. The balances of operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities as of June 30, 2022
were $479,528 and $484,682 respectively. The balances of operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities as of December
31, 2021 were $659,620 and $667,343, respectively.

On
July 12, 2022, Alset International Limited (“AIL”), entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “First Amendment”) to the
Assignment and Assumption Agreement originally entered into on February 25, 2022 (the “Assumption Agreement”) with DSS, Inc.
(“DSS”). Pursuant to the Assumption Agreement, DSS agreed to purchase a convertible promissory note with the face value
of $8,350,000 together with accrued interest from AIL (the “Note”) for a purchase price of 21,366,177 shares of DSS’s

Initial
Public Offering of Alset Capital Acquisition Corp.
On
February 3, 2022 Alset Capital Acquisition Corp. (“Alset Capital”), a special purpose acquisition company sponsored by the
Company and certain affiliates, closed its initial public offering of 7,500,000 units at $10 per unit. Each unit consisted of one of
Alset Capital’s shares of Class A common stock, one-half of one redeemable warrant and one right to receive one-tenth of one share
of Class A common stock upon the consummation of an initial business combination. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase
one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. Only whole warrants are exercisable. The underwriters exercised their
over-allotment option in full for an additional 1,125,000 units on February 1, 2022, which closed at the time of the closing of the Offering.
As a result, the aggregate gross proceeds of this offering, including the over-allotment, were $86,250,000, prior to deducting underwriting
discounts, commissions, and other offering expenses.
On
February 3, 2022, simultaneously with the consummation of Alset Capital’s initial public offering, Alset Capital consummated the
private placement of 473,750 units (the “Private Placement Units”) to the Sponsor, which amount includes 33,750 Private Placement
Units purchased by the Sponsor in connection with the underwriters’ exercise of the over-allotment option in full, at a price of
$10.00 per Private Placement Unit, generating gross proceeds of approximately $4.7 million (the “Private Placement”) the
proceeds of which were placed in the trust account. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to the Private Placement.
The Private Placement Units are identical to the units sold in the initial public offering, except that (a) the Private Placement Units
and their component securities will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the consummation of Alset Capital’s
initial business combination except to permitted transferees and (b) the warrants and rights included as a component of the Private Placement
Units, so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, will be entitled to registration rights, respectively.

Name
Change
During
a Special Meeting of Stockholders on June 6, 2022, the stockholders approved the reincorporation of the Company in Texas and the change
of the Company’s name to “Alset Inc.” The management believes that such new name will more fully reflect its current
business model.
Financial
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Real
Estate Projects
The
extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact our business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot
be predicted. The COVID-19 pandemic’s far-reaching impact on the global economy could negatively affect various aspects of our
business, including demand for real estate. From March 2020 through the second quarter of 2022, we continued to sell lots at our Ballenger
Run project (in Maryland) to NVR for the construction of single-family homes. At this time, all of the lots at Ballenger Run have been
sold to NVR, however we continue to complete our development requirements under our agreements with NVR. We do not anticipate that the
COVID-19 pandemic will have a material impact on the timing of the completion of our remaining tasks at Ballenger Run.
We
have received strong indications that buyers and renters across the country are expressing interest in moving from more densely populated
urban areas to the suburbs. We believe this trend, should it continue, will encourage interest in our Lakes at Black Oak project, an
Alset EHome community.
The
COVID-19 pandemic could impact the ability of our staff and contractors to continue to work, and our ability to conduct our operations
in a prompt and efficient manner. In 2020, we experienced a slowdown in the construction of a clubhouse at the Ballenger Run project,
which was completed behind schedule. We believe this delay was caused in part by policies requiring lower numbers of contractors working
in indoor space. The infrastructure design, engineering and construction for the Black Oak project, and other planned projects, could
be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in the future. In addition, we believe the COVID-19 pandemic could continue to have an impact on
supply chains and commodities in the future, which may impact our real estate business by causing increased costs and longer project
durations.
The
COVID-19 pandemic may adversely impact the timeliness of local government in granting required approvals. Accordingly, the COVID-19 pandemic
may cause the completion of important stages in our real estate projects to be delayed.
Other
Business Activities
The
COVID-19 pandemic may adversely impact our potential to expand our business activities in ways that are difficult to assess or predict.
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted, and may continue to impact, the global supply of certain
goods and services in ways that may impact the sale of products to consumers that we, or companies we may invest in or partner with,
will attempt to make. The COVID-19 pandemic may prevent us from pursuing otherwise attractive opportunities.
COVID-19
pandemic has impacted our operations in South Korea; since the start of the pandemic, the South Korean government has at various times
placed certain restrictions on business meetings to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Such restrictions have impacted our ability to recruit
potential affiliate sales personnel, and to introduce products to a larger audience.
5
Impact
on Staff
Most
of our U.S. staff works out of our Bethesda, Maryland office.
Our
U.S. staff has shifted to mostly working from home since March 2020, but this has had a minimal impact on our operations to date. Our
staff in Singapore and Hong Kong has been able to work from home when needed with minimal impact on our operations, however our staff’s
ability to travel between our Hong Kong and Singapore offices and our staff’s travel between the U.S. and non-U.S. offices was
significantly limited until earlier this year. The COVID-19 pandemic also impacted the frequency with which our management would otherwise
travel to the Black Oak project in 2020 and 2021; however, we have a contractor in Texas providing supervision of the project. Management
continues to regularly supervise the Ballenger Run project. Limitations on the mobility of our management and staff may slow down our
ability to enter into new transactions and expand existing projects.
We
have not reduced our staff in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. To date, we did not have to expend significant resources related
to employee health and safety matters related to the COVID-19 pandemic. We have a small staff, however, and the inability of any significant
number of our staff to work due to illness or the illness of a family member could adversely impact our operations.
Recent
Business Developments in our Home Rental Business
Recently,
the Company expanded its real estate portfolio to single family rental houses. During 2021 and early 2022, the Company, through its subsidiaries,
acquired 112 homes in Montgomery and Harris Counties, Texas.
In
forty-four of the 112 rental homes that were acquired, as part of our commitment to advancing smart and healthy sustainable living,
we have installed Tesla PV solar panels and Powerwalls. We are reviewing plans to add solar panels and related technologies at the balance
of the single-family rental homes, where feasible. In addition, we have added technologies at many of the single-family rental homes
such as (i) smart solar, thermostat, and energy usage controls; (ii) smart lighting controls; (iii) smart locks and security; and (iv)
smart home automation devices. We believe these and other technologies will be attractive to renters and we continue to build and pursue
strategic, technological partnerships that will assist us as we expand our real estate business to include building homes for rent and
building homes for sale in the future.
The
Company has entered into a property management agreement with the property managers under which the property managers generally oversee
and direct the leasing, management and advertising of the properties in our portfolio, including collecting rents and acting as liaison
with the tenants. The Company pays its property managers a monthly property management fee per property unit and a leasing fee.
Matters
that May or Are Currently Affecting Our Business
In
addition to the matters described above, the primary challenges and trends that could affect or are affecting our financial results include:
●
Our ability to improve our revenue through cross-selling and revenue-sharing arrangements among our diverse group of companies;
●
Our ability to identify complementary businesses for acquisition, obtain additional financing for these acquisitions, if and when needed,
and profitably integrate them into our existing operation;
●
Our ability to attract competent, skilled technical and sales personnel for each of our businesses at acceptable compensation levels
to manage our overhead; and
●
Our ability to control our operating expenses as we expand each of our businesses and product and service offerings.

Revenue
was $926,340 and $6,543,543 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Revenue was $2,878,577 and $12,150,346 for
the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease in property sales from the Ballenger Project and direct sales
from our indirect subsidiary HWH World in the first six months of 2022 contributed to lower revenue in those periods. In the first six
months of 2022 the last three homes in Ballenger Project were sold. In this project, builders are required to purchase a minimum number
of lots based on their applicable sale agreements. We collect revenue from the sale of lots to builders. We are not involved in the construction
of homes at the present time.
Income
from the sale of Front Foot Benefits (“FFBs”), assessed on Ballenger project lots, decreased from $141,575 in the three months
ended June 30, 2021 to $37,725 in the three months ended June 30, 2022. Income from the sale of FFBs, decreased from $248,646 in the
six months ended June 30, 2021 to $116,088 in the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease is a result of the decreased sale of properties
to homebuyers in 2022.
In
the second quarter of 2021, the Company started renting homes to tenants. Revenue from this rental business was $403,900 and $21,947
in the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Revenue from rental business was $636,482 and $21,947 in the six months
ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company expects that the revenue from this business will continue to increase as we acquire
more rental houses and successfully rent them.

In
recent years, the Company expanded its biohealth segment to the Korean market through one of the subsidiaries of Health Wealth Happiness
Pte. Ltd., HWH World Inc (“HWH World”). HWH World operates based on a direct sale model of health supplements. HWH World
recognized $132,222 and $1,958,890 in revenue in three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. HWH World recognized $749,693
and $3,671,673 in revenue in six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease in revenue from HWH World is caused
mainly by decreased sales of annual memberships, as management is in the process of reorganizing its business model in South Korea.
In June 2022 the Company’s subsidiary GigWorld Inc., operating under
our Digital Transformation Technology segment, started providing services to its customer in Hong Kong generating revenue of $7,701 as
of June 30, 2022.
The
category described as “Other” includes corporate and financial services and new venture businesses. “Other” includes
certain costs that are not allocated to the reportable segments, primarily consisting of unallocated corporate overhead costs, including
administrative functions not allocated to the reportable segments from global functional expenses.
The
financial services and new venture businesses are small and diversified, and accordingly they are not separately addressed as one independent
category. In the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the revenue from other businesses was $143,308 and $0, respectively, generated
by a Singaporean café shop operated by a subsidiary of the Company. In the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the revenue
from other businesses was $203,968 and $0, respectively, generated by this Singaporean café shop.

of revenues decreased from 6,305,804 in the six months ended June 30, 2021 to $1,665,227 in the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease
is a result of the decrease in sales in the Ballenger Run project and HWH World sales. Capitalized construction expenses, finance costs
and land costs are allocated to sales. We anticipate the total cost of revenues to increase as revenue increases.
The
gross margin decreased from $3,935,482 to $375,663 in the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively. The gross margin decreased
from $5,844,542 to $1,213,350 in the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, respectively. The decrease of gross margin was caused by
the decrease in sales in the Ballenger Run project and HWH World sales.

The
increase of operating expenses of real estate in 2022 compared with 2021 was mostly caused by the increase in sales and rental related
expenses. Decrease in expenses in our biohealth business is caused by the decreased commission payments to our distributors, which is
connected to decreased sales.
Other
Income (Expense)
In the three months ended June
30, 2022, the Company had other expense of $8,328,599 compared to other expenses of $70,212,030 in the three months ended June 30, 2021.

months ended June 30, 2021. The change in realized and unrealized loss on securities investments and finance costs are the primary reasons
for the volatility in these two periods. Unrealized loss on securities investment was $6,867,375 in the three months ended June 30, 2022,
compared to $21,168,905 loss in the three months ended June 30, 2021. Unrealized loss on securities investment was $10,766,390 in the

loss on security investment was $6,355,451 the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to a gain of $296,961 in the six months ended

and Capital Resources
Our
real estate assets have increased to $43,140,539 as of June 30, 2022 from $40,515,380 as of December 31, 2021. This increase primarily
reflects the additional rental properties we purchased in first half of 2022. In the six months ended June 30, 2022, we purchased three
homes, which will be used in the Company’s rental business. Our rental properties assets were $25,831,478 as of June 30, 2022.
In the first six months of 2022, one of the Company’s subsidiaries sold two plots of land it owns in Australia (which had been

Our cash has decreased from $56,061,309
as of December 31, 2021 to $41,326,946 as of June 30, 2022. Our liabilities decreased from $13,920,357 at December 31, 2021 to $3,906,248
at June 30, 2022. Our total assets have decreased to $176,071,320 as of June 30, 2022 from $184,210,143 as of December 31, 2021 mainly
due to decrease in cash.
The management believes that the available cash in bank accounts and favorable
cash revenue from real estate projects are sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months.

Cash
Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities
was $16,125,804 in the first six months of 2022, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $10,649,851 in the same period
of 2021. The payment of accrued bonus due to director of $3,614,749 contributed to the decrease of cash in operating activities in the
first six months of 2022.
Cash
Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities
was $8,308,426 in the first six months of 2022, as compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $2,234,619 in the same period
of 2021. In the six months ended June 30, 2022 we invested $6,662,017 in marketable securities, $722,817 to purchase real estate properties
and $602,161 in real estate property improvements. In the six months ended June 30, 2021 we invested $758,208 in marketable securities
and we received approximately $2.5 million from the sale of Vivacitas Oncology to a related party.
Cash
Flows from Financing Activities
Net
cash provided by financing activities was $6,041,139 in the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to net cash provided of $43,898,095
the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in cash provided by financing activities in the first six months of 2022 is primarily
caused by the proceeds from stock issuance of $6,213,000. Additionally, the Company repaid $171,861 to loan payable. During the six months
ended June 30, 2021, we received cash proceeds of $39,268,580 from stock issuance, $2,753,203 from exercise of subsidiary warrants, $280,000
from the sale of our GigWorld shares to individual investors and $5,545,495 from a related party loan. The Company also distributed $1,151,500
to one minority interest investor and repaid $2,102,400 of promissory note held by related parties.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition,
revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
Impact
of Inflation
We
believe that inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 or the year
ended December 31, 2021. Our current and anticipated costs in our real estate and other business lines have increased due to recent inflation,
including projected costs of materials and salaries, and such increases may be significant as we engage in additional operations. We
cannot assure you that future inflation will not have an adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition.
10
Impact
of Foreign Exchange Rates
The
effect of foreign exchange rate changes on the intercompany loans (under ASC 830), which mostly consist of loans from Singapore to the
United States and which were approximately $43 million and $43 million on June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, are the
reason for the significant fluctuation of foreign currency transaction Gain or Loss on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations
and Other Comprehensive Loss. Because the intercompany loan balances between Singapore and United States will remain at approximately
$43 million over the next year, we expect this fluctuation of foreign exchange rates to still significantly impact the results of operations
in 2022, especially given that the foreign exchange rate may and is expected to be volatile. If the amount of intercompany loan is lowered
in the future, the effect will also be reduced. However, at this moment, we do not expect to repay the intercompany loans in the short
term.
Emerging
Growth Company Status
We
are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various
reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies.” Section 107
of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided
in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging
growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.
We have elected to take advantage of these exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company or until we affirmatively and
irrevocably opt out of this exemption.
Seasonality
The
real estate business is subject to seasonal shifts in costs as certain work is more likely to be performed at certain times of the year.
This may impact the expenses of Alset EHome Inc. from time to time. In addition, should we commence building homes, we are likely to
experience periodic spikes in sales as we commence the sales process at a particular location.

a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide the information

to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b)
Changes in the Company’s Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There
was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Exchange Act)
that occurred during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.
