1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of Operations

 

Alset EHome International Inc. (the “Company” or “AEI”), formerly known as HF Enterprises Inc., was incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 7, 2018 and 1,000 shares of common stock was issued to Chan Heng Fai, the founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. AEI is a diversified holding company principally engaged in the development of EHome communities and other real estate, financial services, digital transformation technologies, biohealth activities and consumer products with operations in the United States, Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia and South Korea. The Company manages its principal businesses primarily through its subsidiary, Alset International Limited (“Alset International”, formerly known as Singapore eDevelopment Limited), a company publicly traded on the Singapore Stock Exchange.

 

The Company has four operating segments based on the products and services offered. These include the three principal businesses that have been the majority of our operations – real estate, digital transformation technology and biohealth – as well as a fourth category consisting of certain other business activities. At the present time, our financial services activities are reported under our other business activities. Our biohealth activities include the sale of consumer products.

 

2. GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has experienced losses from operations over the past nine months. As of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $124,909,747 and a loss of $5,030,706 from operations, respectively.

 

As a result, these conditions may raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern twelve months from the date of issuance of our consolidated financial statements. However, the Company expects to have high volume of cash in hand and strong operating cash inflows for at least the next twelve months. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had cash $67,944,590 and restricted cash $4,996,543 compared to cash $24,965,946 and restricted cash $6,769,533 as of December 31, 2020. SeD Maryland Development LLC has an $8 million credit line from Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (“M&T Bank”) and the loan balance with M&T Bank was $0 as of September 30, 2021. Management has evaluated the conditions in relation to the Company’s ability to meet its obligations and plans to continue borrowing funds from third party financial institutions in order to meet the operating cash requirements. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the loans from related party were $5,278,617 and $2,534,281, respectively. Funding the Company’s operations is our first priority, before repaying related party debtors. Therefore, available cash will be used to fund the Company’s operations before related party debtor repayments. At the same time management will concurrently work with the related party debtors on a plan to repay the related party loans, which are repayable on demand.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the revenue from real estate projects was approximately $12 million and revenue from our biohealth business was approximately $4.9 million. Furthermore, the Company had not defaulted on any principal and interest repayment on its loans and borrowings and had repaid one of its bank loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

 

As a result of management’s plans, high volume cash in bank accounts, favorable cash revenue from real estate and biohealth operations in nine months ended on September 30, 2021, and availability of $8 million line of credit under M&T Bank loan agreement, the Company believes the initial conditions which raised substantial doubt regarding the ability to continue as a going concern have been alleviated. However, we cannot predict, with certainty, the outcome of our actions to generate liquidity and the failure to do so could negatively impact our future operations.

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 interests of $306,438 were converted into 2,123 shares of series B preferred stock and 9,163,965 shares of common stock of the Company.

 

  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 September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

 

Restricted Cash

 

As a condition to the loan agreement with the Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (“M&T Bank”), the Company is required to maintain a minimum of $2,600,000 in an interest-bearing account maintained by the lender as additional security for the loans. These funds are required to remain as collateral for the loan until the loan is paid off in full and the loan agreement is terminated. The Company also has an escrow account with M&T Bank to deposit a portion of cash proceeds from lot sales. The funds in the escrow account are specifically used for the payment of the loan from M&T Bank. These funds are required to remain in the escrow account for the loan payment until the loan agreement terminates. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the total balance of these two accounts was $4,399,873 and $5,729,067, respectively.

 

As a condition to the loan agreement with National Australian Bank Limited in conjunction with the Perth project, an Australian real estate development project, the Company is required to maintain Australian Dollar 50,000, in a non-interest-bearing account. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the account balance was $36,059 and $38,550, respectively. These funds will remain as collateral for the loans until paid in full.

 

The Company puts money into brokerage accounts specifically for equity investment. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the cash balance in these brokerage accounts was $560,581 and $1,001,916, respectively.

 

Account Receivables and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Account receivables is stated at amounts due from buyers, contractors, and all third parties, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the balance of account receivables was $912,650 and $1,366,194, respectively. Approximately $0.6 million and $1.3 million of account receivables as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, was from DSS with a merchant agreement, under which the Company uses DSS credit card platform to collect money from our direct sales.

 

The Company monitors its account receivables balances monthly to ensure that they are collectible. On a quarterly basis, the Company uses its historical experience to estimate its allowance for doubtful account receivables. The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts represents an estimate of the losses expected to be incurred based on specifically identified accounts as well as nonspecific amount, when determined appropriate. Generally, the amount of the allowance is primarily decided by division management’s historical experience, the delinquency trends, the resolution rates, the aging of receivables, the credit quality indicators and financial health of specific customers. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the allowance was $0.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method and includes all costs in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, inventory consisted of finished goods from HWH World Inc. The Company continuously evaluates the need for reserve for obsolescence and possible price concessions required to write-down inventories to net realizable value.

Investment Securities

 

Investments represent equity investments with readily determinable fair values, equity-method investments, equity investments without readily determinable fair values and debt securities.

Amarantus BioScience Holdings (“AMBS”) and Ture Partner Capital Holding Limited (“True Partner”) are publicly traded companies. The Company does not have significant influence over AMBS and True Partner, as the Company is the beneficial owner of approximately 5.3% of the common shares of AMBS and 15.5% of True Partner.

On April 12, 2021 the Company acquired 6,500,000 common shares of Value Exchange International, Inc.

Holista CollTech Limited (“Holista”), Document Securities Systems Inc. (“DSS”) and American Premium Water Corp (“APW”) are publicly traded companies and fair value is determined by quoted stock prices. The Company has significant influence but does not have a controlling interest in these investments, and therefore, the Company’s investment could be accounted for under the equity method of accounting or elect fair value accounting.

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 consolidated statements of comprehensive income equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the investment.

 

The Company had an equity holding in Vivacitas Oncology Inc. (“Vivacitas”), a private company that is currently not listed on an exchange. We measure Vivacitas at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. Our ownership in Vivacitas was sold on March 18, 2021 to DSS for $2,480,000. 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 10 – Related Party Transactions, Sale of Investment in Vivacitas to DSS.

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 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 be liable for the obligations of the investee or provide 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.

Sweet Sense, Inc.

 

BioLife Sugar, Inc. (“BioLife’), a subsidiary consolidated under Alset International, entered into a joint venture agreement on April 25, 2018 with Quality Ingredients, LLC (“QI”). The agreement created an entity called Sweet Sense, Inc. (“Sweet Sense”) which was 50% owned by BioLife and 50% owned by QI. Management believed its 50% investment represents significant influence over Sweet Sense and accounts for the investment under the equity method of accounting.

 

On November 8, 2019, Impact BioMedical Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, purchased 50% of Sweet Sense from QI for $91,000 and recorded a loss from acquisition of $90,001. As of November 8, 2019, the total investment in joint venture was equal to $91,000 and the proportionate losses totaled $90,001. The transaction was not in the scope of ASC 805 Business Combinations since the acquisition was accounted for an asset purchase instead of a business combination. As an asset acquisition, the Company recorded the transaction at cost and applied ASC 730 to expense in-process research and development cost, the major cost of Sweet Sense. Consequently, Sweet Sense was an 81.8% owned subsidiary of Impact BioMedical Inc. and therefore, was consolidated into the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2020. On August 20, 2020 Impact BioMedical Inc. was sold to one od DSS’s subsidiaries. As a subsidiary of Impact BioMedical Inc., Sweet Sense was in the discontinued operations of Impact BioMedical Inc.

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 VIE’s 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 lent a loan of $187,500 with zero interest and due on demand, to HWH World Co.

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 overseen 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 September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 variable interest and amount receivable in the non-consolidated VIE was $232,124 and $42,562, 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 does not also have the ultimate power over the activities which can impact VIE’s economic performance, like developing company budgets or overseen and controlling the management. The power to direct these activities are held by the AMRE’s largest shareholder which owns approximately 93% of AMRE and AMRE’s management team. Therefore, the Company is not a primary beneficiary of this VIE and does not consolidate it. On September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 variable interest and amount receivable in the non-consolidated VIE was $225,398 and $213,431, respectively, which represents the Company’s maximum risk of loss from non-consolidated VIE.

However, The Company is not deemed to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to Credas. The Company does not also have the ultimate power over the activities which can impact VIE’s economic performance, like developing company budgets or overseen and controlling the management. Therefore, the Company is not a primary beneficiary of this VIE and does not consolidate it. On September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 variable interest and amount receivable in the non-consolidated VIE was $134,718 and $0, 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 acquired real estate assets 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.

 

  F-14  

 

 

The Company capitalized construction costs of approximately $1.8 million and $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company capitalized construction costs of approximately $3.2 million and $8.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

The Company’s policy is to obtain an independent third-party valuation for each major project in the United States as part of our assessment of identifying potential triggering events for impairment. Management may use the market comparison method to value other relatively small projects, such as the project in Perth, Australia. In addition to the annual assessment of potential triggering events in accordance with ASC 360 – Property Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360”), the Company applies a fair value-based impairment test to the net book value assets on an annual basis and on an interim basis if certain events or circumstances indicate that an impairment loss may have occurred.

 

The Company did not record impairment on any of its projects during the three and nine months ended on September 30, 2021 and 2020.

 

Properties under development

 

Properties under development are properties being constructed for sale in the ordinary course of business, rather than to be held for the Company’s own use, rental or capital appreciation.

 

Rental Properties

 

Rental properties are acquired with the intent to be rented to tenants. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company signed multiple purchase agreements to acquire 46 homes in Montgomery and Harris Counties, Texas. By September 30, 2021, all of the 46 homes were closed with an aggregate purchase cost of $10,662,228. All of these purchased homes are properties of our rental business.

 

Investments in Single-Family Residential Properties

 

The Company accounts for its investments in single-family residential properties as asset acquisitions and records these acquisitions at their purchase price. The purchase price is allocated between land, building, improvements and existing leases based upon their relative fair values at the date of acquisition. The purchase price for purposes of this allocation is inclusive of acquisition costs which typically include legal fees, title fees, property inspection and valuation fees, as well as other closing costs.

 

Building improvements and buildings are depreciated over estimated useful lives of approximately 10 to 27.5 years, respectively, using the straight-line method.

 

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

 

  F-15  

 

 

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 70% and 99%, respectively, of the Company’s revenue in the nine months ended on September 30, 2021 and 2020, is as follows:

 

  Identify the contract with a customer.

 

The Company has signed agreements with the builders for developing the raw land to ready to build lots. The contract has agreed upon prices, timelines, and specifications for what is to be provided.

 

  Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

 

Performance obligations of the Company include delivering developed lots to the customer, which are required to meet certain specifications that are outlined in the contract. The customer inspects all lots prior to accepting title to ensure all specifications are met.

 

  Determine the transaction price.

 

The transaction price per lot is fixed and specified in the contract. Any subsequent change orders or price changes are required to be approved by both parties.

 

  Allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract.

 

Each lot or a group of lots is considered to be a separate performance obligation, for which the specified price in the contract is allocated to.

 

  Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

 

The builders do the inspections to make sure all conditions/requirements are met before taking title of lots. The Company recognizes revenue at a point in time when title is transferred. The Company does not have further performance obligations or continuing involvement once title is transferred.

 

Rental Revenue

 

The Company leases real estate properties to its tenants under leases that are predominately classified as operating leases, in accordance with ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). Real estate rental revenue is comprised of minimum base rent and revenue from the collection of lease termination fees.

 

  F-16  

 

 

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 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 nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company didn’t recognize any deferred revenue and collected all rents due.

 

Sale of the Front Foot Benefit Assessments

 

We have established a front foot benefit (“FFB”) assessment on all of the NVR lots. This is a 30-year annual assessment allowed in Frederick County which requires homeowners to reimburse the developer for the costs of installing public water and sewer to the lots. These assessments become effective as homes are settled, at which time we can sell the collection rights to investors who will pay an upfront lump sum, enabling us to realize the revenue more quickly. The selling prices range from $3,000 to $4,500 per home depending on the type of the home. Our total revenue from the front foot benefit assessment is approximately $1 million. To recognize revenue of FFB assessment, both our and NVR’s performance obligation must be satisfied. Our performance obligation is completed once we complete the construction of water and sewer facility and close the lot sales with NVR, which inspects these water and sewer facility prior to close lot sales to ensure all specifications are met. NVR’s performance obligation is to sell homes they build to homeowners. Our FFB revenue is recognized on quarterly basis after NVR closes sales of homes to homeowners. The agreement with these FFB investors is not subject to amendment by regulatory agencies and thus our revenue from FFB assessment is not either. During the three months ended on September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recognized revenue of $182,813 and $54,147 from FFB assessment, respectively. During the nine months ended on September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recognized revenue of $431,458 and $169,349 from FFB assessment, 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.

 

  F-17  

 

 

  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.

 

Biohealth

 

  Product Direct Sales

 

The Company’s net sales consist of product sales. The Company’s performance obligation is to transfer its products to its third-party independent distributors (“Distributors”). The Company generally recognizes revenue when product is shipped to its Distributors.

 

The Company’s Distributors may receive distributor allowances, which are comprised of discounts, rebates and wholesale commission payments from the Company. Distributor allowances resulting from the Company’s sales of its products to its Distributors are recorded against net sales because the distributor allowances represent discounts from the suggested retail price.

 

In addition to distributor allowances, the Company compensates its sales leader Distributors with leadership incentives for services rendered, relating to the development, retention, and management of their sales organizations. Leadership incentives are payable based on achieved sales volume, which are recorded in general and administrative expenses. The Company recognizes revenue when it ships products. The Company receives the net sales price in cash or through credit card payments at the point of sale.

 

If a Distributor returns a product to the Company on a timely basis, he/she may obtain a replacement product from the Company for such returned products. In addition, the Company maintains a buyback program pursuant to which it will repurchase products sold to a Distributor who has decided to leave the business. Allowances for product returns, primarily in connection with the Company’s buyback program, are provided at the time the sale is recorded. This accrual is based upon historical return rates for each country and the relevant return pattern, which reflects anticipated returns to be received over a period of up to 12 months following the original sale.

 

  Annual Membership

 

The Company collects an annual membership fee from its Distributors. The fee is fixed, paid in full at the time of joining the membership and non-refundable. The membership provides the member access to purchase products at a discount, 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 $1,636,475 and $2,867,226 at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

 

Other Businesses

 

  Remaining performance obligations

 

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no remaining performance obligations or continuing involvement, as all service obligations within the other business activities segment have been completed.

 

Foreign currency

 

Functional and reporting currency

 

Items included in the financial statements of each entity in the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“functional currency”). The financial statements of the Company are presented in U.S. dollars (the “reporting currency”).

 

The functional and reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar (“U.S. dollar”). The financial records of the Company’s subsidiaries located in Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia and South Korea are maintained in their local currencies, the Singapore Dollar (S$), Hong Kong Dollar (HK$), Australian Dollar (“AUD”) and South Korean Won (“KRW”), which are also the functional currencies of these entities.

 

  F-18  

 

 

Transactions in foreign currencies

 

Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency during the periods are converted into functional currency at the applicable rates of exchange prevailing when the transactions occurred. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in the statement of operations.

 

The majority of the Company’s foreign currency transaction gains or losses come from the effects of foreign exchange rate changes on the intercompany loans between Singapore entities and U.S. entities. The Company recorded foreign exchange loss of $578,903 and $482,209 during the three months ended on September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company recorded foreign exchange gain of $1,842,128 and $981,564 during the nine months ended on September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The foreign currency transactional gains and losses are recorded in operations.

 

Translation of consolidated entities’ financial statements

 

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. The Company’s entities with functional currency of 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).

 

For the three months ended on September 30, 2021, the Company recorded other comprehensive loss from foreign currency translation of $1,238,356 and a $462,064 gain in the three months ended September 30, 2020, in accumulated other comprehensive loss. For the nine months ended on September 30, 2021, the Company recorded other comprehensive loss from foreign currency translation of $4,077,987 and a $585,085 loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

 

Non-controlling interests

 

Non-controlling interests represent the equity in subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to owners of the Company, and are presented separately in the consolidated statements of operation and comprehensive income, and within equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, separately from equity attributable to owners of the Company.

 

On September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the aggregate non-controlling interests in the Company were $25,139,976 and $38,023,260, respectively.

 

Capitalized Financing Costs

 

Financing costs, such as loan origination fee, administration fee, interests, and other related financing costs should be capitalized and recorded on the balance sheet, if these financing activities are directly associated with the development of real estates.

 

Capitalized financing costs are allocated to lots sold based on the total expected development and interest costs of the completed project and allocating a percentage of those costs based on the selling price of the sold lot compared to the expected sales values of all lots in the project. If the allocation of capitalized financing costs based on the projection and relative expected sales value is impracticable, those costs could also be allocated based on an area method, which uses the size of the lots compared to the total project area and allocates costs based on their size.

 

As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the capitalized financing costs were $3,247,739 and $3,513,535, respectively.

 

  F-19  

 

 

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.

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.

  5. 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 assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision-maker is the CEO. The Company operates in and reports four business segments: real estate, digital transformation technology, biohealth, and other business activities. At the present time, our financial services activities are reported under our other business activities. Our biohealth revenues include the sale of consumer products. The Company’s reportable segments are determined based on the services they perform and the products they sell, not on the geographic area in which they operate. The Company’s chief operating decision-maker evaluates segment performance based on segment revenue. Costs excluded from segment income (loss) before taxes and reported as “Other” consist of corporate general and administrative activities which are not allocable to the four reportable segments.

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s segment information for the following balance sheet dates presented, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:

Based on the agreements, NVR is entitled to purchase 479 lots for a price of approximately $64,000,000, which escalates 3% annually after June 1, 2018.

 

As part of the agreements, NVR was required to give a deposit in the amount of $5,600,000. Upon the sale of lots to NVR, 9.9% of the purchase price is taken as payback of the deposit. A violation of the agreements by NVR would cause NVR to forfeit the deposit. On January 3, 2019 and April 28, 2020, NVR gave SeD Maryland two more deposits in the amounts of $100,000 and $220,000, respectively, based on the 3rd Amendment to the Lot Purchase Agreement.

13. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

 

On April 27, 2020, Global BioMedical Pte Ltd (“GBM”), one of our subsidiaries, entered into a share exchange agreement with DSS BioHealth Security, Inc. (“DBHS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Document Securities Systems Inc. (“DSS”), pursuant to which, DBHS agreed to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of Impact BioMedical Inc, a wholly owned subsidiary of GBM, through a share exchange. It was agreed that the aggregate consideration to be issued to GBM for the Impact BioMedical shares would be the following: (i) 483,334 newly issued shares of DSS common stock; and (ii) 46,868 newly issued shares of a new series of DSS perpetual convertible preferred stock with a stated value of $46,868,000 ($1,000 per share). The convertible preferred stock will be convertible into shares of DSS common stock at a conversion price of $6.48 of preferred stock stated value per share of common stock, subject to a 19.9% beneficial ownership conversion limitation (a so-called “blocker”) based on the total issued outstanding shares of common stock of DSS beneficially owned by GBM. Holders of the convertible preferred stock will have no voting rights, except as required by applicable law or regulation, and no dividends will accrue or be payable on the convertible preferred stock. The holders of convertible preferred stock will be entitled to a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, and DSS will have the right to redeem all or any portion of the then outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock, pro rata among all holders, at a redemption price per share equal to such liquidation value per share.

 

Under ASU 2014-08, a disposal transaction meets the definition of a discontinued operation if all of the following criteria are met:

 

  1. The disposal group constitutes a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity.
     
  2. The component of an entity (or group of components of an entity) meets the held-for-sale classification criteria, is disposed of by sale, or is disposed of other than by sale (e.g., “by abandonment, in an exchange measured based on the recorded amount of the nonmonetary asset relinquished, or in a distribution to owners in a spinoff”).
     
  3. The disposal of a component of an entity (or group of components of an entity) “represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results”.

 

Impact BioMedical Inc and its subsidiaries have financial reporting. The transaction is a disposal by sale and has a major effect on our financial results. Since it meets all of the test criteria set forth above, we have treated this disposal transaction as a discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements.

 

On August 21, 2020, the transaction closed and Impact BioMedical Inc became a direct wholly owned subsidiary of DBHS. GBM received 483,334 shares of DSS common stock and 46,868 shares of DSS preferred stock, which preferred shares could be converted to 7,232,716 common shares (however, any conversion will be subject to the blocker GBM has agreed to, as described above). After this transaction, we hold 500,001 shares of the common stock of DSS, representing 9.7% of the outstanding common stock of DSS. Our CEO, Chan Heng Fai is the owner of the common stock of DSS (not including any common or preferred shares we hold) and is the executive chairman of the board of directors of DSS. The Company has elected the fair value option for the DSS common stock that would otherwise be accounted for under the equity method of accounting. ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, defines fair value of the financial assets. We value DSS common stock under level 1 category through quoted prices and preferred stock under level 3 category through an Option-Pricing Method. Under the “blocker” term in the agreement, the Company could convert 4,293 shares Convertible Preferred Stock into 662,500 shares of the common stock of DSS as of September 30, 2020. The quoted price of DSS common stock was $6.95 as of August 21, 2020. The total fair value of DSS common and preferred stocks GBM received as consideration for the disposal of Impact BioMedical was $46,284,171. As of August 21, 2020, the net asset value of Impact BioMedical was $94,011. The difference of $46,190,160 was recorded as additional paid in capital. We did not recognize gain or loss from this transaction as it was a related party transaction.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the discontinued operation loss from Impact BioMedical Inc was $0 and $56,053, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 the discontinued operation loss from Impact BioMedical Inc was $0 and $417,438, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Global BioMedical Pte Ltd. converted 42,575 preferred stock of DSS into 6,570,170 common shares of DSS.

 

Sharing Services Convertible Note

 

The fair value of the Sharing Services Convertible Note under level 3 category as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was calculated using a Black-Scholes valuation model valued with the following weighted average assumptions:

 

   

September 30,

2021

   

December 31,

2020

 
             
Dividend yield     0.00 %     0.00 %
Expected volatility     113.63 %     210.07 %
Risk free interest rate     3.25 %     0.13 %
Contractual term (in years)     1.02       11.76  
Exercise price   $ 0.15     $ 0.15  

 

We assumed dividend yield rate is 0.00% in Sharing Services. The volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Sharing Services’ common stock. Risk-free interest rates were obtained from U.S. Treasury rates for the applicable periods.

 

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.

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 September 30, 2021 and 2020, NVR purchased 18 lots and 26 lots, respectively.

The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”) to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all the leases with terms greater than twelve months. We elected the practical expedient to not recognize operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities for lease agreements with terms less than 12 months. Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As our leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rates, we estimate our incremental borrowing rates to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement. Our incremental borrowings rates are 3.9% in 2021 and at a range from 0.5% to 4.5% per annum in 2020, which were used as the discount rates. The balances of operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities as of September 30, 2021 were $599,481 and $611,644 respectively. The balances of operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities as of December 31, 2020 were $574,754 and $574,754, respectively.

 

The table below summarizes future payments due under these leases as of September 30, 2021.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. For this purpose, any statements contained in this Form 10-Q that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, words such as “may”, “will”, “expect”, “believe”, “anticipate”, “estimate” or “continue” or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of factors, many of which are not within our control. These factors include by are not limited to economic conditions generally and in the industries in which we may participate, competition within our chosen industry, including competition from much larger competitors, technological advances and failure to successfully develop business relationships.

 

Business Overview

 

Alset EHome International Inc. is a diversified holding company principally engaged through its subsidiaries in the development of EHome communities and other real estate, financial services, digital transformation technologies, biohealth activities and consumer products with operations is United States, Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea and Australia. Our growth strategy is to pursue opportunities that we can leverage on our global network using our capital resources and to accelerate the expansion of our organic businesses. We manage our principal businesses primarily through 75.1% (as of the filing date) owned subsidiary, Alset International Limited, a public company traded on the Singapore Stock Exchange.

 

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 September 30, 2021, we continued to sell lots at our Ballenger Run project (in Maryland) for the construction of town homes to NVR. Sales of such lots to NVR increased in the first nine months of 2021 to 76 compared to 72 lots sold in the first nine months of 2020. Such town homes are often a first home that generally did not require buyers to sell an existing home. We believe low interest rates have encouraged home sales. Many buyers opted to see home models at the project virtually. This technology allowed them to ask questions to sales staff and see the town homes. Home closings were able to occur electronically.

 

We have received strong indications that buyers and renters across the country are continuing to express interest in moving from more densely populated urban areas to the suburbs. We believe that our Ballenger Run project is well suited and positioned to accommodate those buyers. Our latest phase for sale at Ballenger Run, involving single-family homes, has seen a high number of interested potential buyers signing up for additional information and updates on home availability.

 

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. To date, we experienced a slowdown in the construction of a clubhouse at the Ballenger Run project during the earlier part of the pandemic, which was completed behind schedule. We believe this delay was caused in part by policies requiring lower numbers of contractors working in indoor spaces.

 

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.

 

Impact on Staff

 

Most of our U.S. staff works out of our Bethesda, Maryland office. At our office in Texas, we received a 50% rent abatement for the month of May 2020.

 

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 has been significantly limited, and our staff’s travel between the U.S. and non-U.S. offices has been suspended since March 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic has reduced the frequency with which our management would otherwise travel to the Black Oaks project; 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.

Revenue was $4,795,567 and $2,148,923 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Revenue was $16,945,913 and $7,179,919 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. An increase in property sales from the Ballenger Project and direct sales from our indirect subsidiary HWH World in the first three quarters of 2021 contributed to higher revenue in those periods. For our Ballenger 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, increased from $54,147 in the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $182,813 in the three months ended September 30, 2021. Income from the sale of FFBs increased from $169,349 in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $431,458 in the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase is a mixed result of the increased sale of properties to homebuyers in 2021 and sale of FFBs at a higher value.

 

In the second quarter of 2021, the Company started renting homes to tenants. Revenue from this rental business was $133,302 and $155,249 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 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.

 

Revenues from our biohealth segment in the first nine months of 2020 came from the direct sales by iGalen Inc. (formerly known as iGalen USA, LLC), which was 100% owned by iGalen International Inc., Alset International’s 53%-owned subsidiary. On December 30, 2020 Alset International’s ownership of iGalen International was sold to one of the directors of iGalen International. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the revenue from iGalen Inc. was $1,331. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the revenue from iGalen Inc. was $30,533.

 

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, similarly to iGalen Inc., operates based on a direct sale model of health supplements. HWH World recognized $1,248,171 and $600 in revenue in three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. HWH World recognized $4,919,844 and $600 in revenue in nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

Operating Expenses

 

The following tables sets forth period-over-period changes in cost of revenues for each of our reporting segments:

 

    Three Months Ended

    2021     2020     Dollars     Percentage  
Real Estate   $ 8,291,698     $ 5,603,164     $ 2,688,534       48 %
Biohealth     218,507       6,139       212,368       3,459 %
Total Cost of Revenues   $ 8,510,205     $ 5,609,303     $ 2,900,902       52 %

Cost of revenues increased from $1,616,377 in the three months ended September 30, 2020 to $2,204,401 in the three months ended September 30, 2021, as a result of the increase in sales in the Ballenger Run project and HWH World sales. Cost of revenues increased from $5,609,303 in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to $8,510,205 in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as a result of the increase 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 increased from $532,546 to $2,591,166 in the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively. The gross margin increased from $1,570,616 to $8,435,708 in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively. The increase of gross margin was caused by the increase of gross margin of HWH World, mostly due to the increase in the sales and from increased sales in Ballenger project.

 

The following tables sets forth period-over-period changes in operating expenses for each of our reporting segments.

 

   

Three Months Ended

    Change

Other     619,114       648,334       (29,220 )     -5 %
Total operating expenses   $ 2,539,584     $ 946,654     $ 1,592,930       168 %

 

   

Nine Months Ended

September 30,

    Change  
    2021     2020     Dollars     Percentage  
Real Estate   $ 901,236     $ 634,254     $ 266,982       42 %
Biohealth     3,451,152       388,083       3,063,069       789 %
Digital transformation technology     173,594       87,972       85,622       97 %
Other     8,940,432       3,424,869       5,515,563       161 %
Total operating expenses   $ 13,466,414     $ 4,535,178     $ 8,931,236       197 %

 

The increase of operating expenses of property development in 2021 compared with 2020 was mostly caused by the increase of sales related expenses. Increase in expenses in our biohealth business is caused by the increased commission payments to our distributors, which is connected to increased sales. Additionally, the increase in professional fees and employee salaries and bonuses in our Other businesses contributed to increased operating expenses in nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the same period in 2020. 

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

In the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company had other expense of $8,126,066 compared to other expenses of $12,624,022 in the three months ended September 30, 2020. In the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company had other expense of $87,293,906 compared to other expense of $9,780,603 in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The change in unrealized loss on securities investment and on financing costs are the primary reasons for the volatility in these two periods. Unrealized loss on securities investment was $5,268,531 in the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $12,444,635 loss in the three months ended September 30, 2020. Unrealized loss on securities investment was $35,972,445 in nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $10,883,149 loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Finance costs were $27,798 in the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to a $68,151 in the three months ended September 30, 2020. Finance costs were $50,871,869 in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to a $73,041 in the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

On April 27, 2020, Global BioMedical Pte Ltd (“GBM”), one of our subsidiaries, entered into a share exchange agreement with DSS BioHealth Security, Inc. (“DBHS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Document Securities Systems Inc. (“DSS”), pursuant to which, DBHS agreed to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of Impact BioMedical Inc, a wholly owned subsidiary of GBM, through a share exchange. It was agreed that the aggregate consideration to be issued to GBM for the Impact BioMedical shares would be the following: (i) 483,334 newly issued shares of DSS common stock; and (ii) 46,868 newly issued shares of a new series of DSS perpetual convertible preferred stock with a stated value of $46,868,000 ($1,000 per share). The convertible preferred stock will be convertible into shares of DSS common stock at a conversion price of $6.48 of preferred stock stated value per share of common stock, subject to a 19.9% beneficial ownership conversion limitation (a so-called “blocker”) based on the total issued outstanding shares of common stock of DSS beneficially owned by GBM. Holders of the convertible preferred stock will have no voting rights, except as required by applicable law or regulation, and no dividends will accrue or be payable on the convertible preferred stock. The holders of convertible preferred stock will be entitled to a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, and DSS will have the right to redeem all or any portion of the then outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock, pro rata among all holders, at a redemption price per share equal to such liquidation value per share.

Under ASU 2014-08, a disposal transaction meets the definition of a discontinued operation if all of the following criteria are met:

 

  1. The disposal group constitutes a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity.
     
  2. The component of an entity (or group of components of an entity) meets the held-for-sale classification criteria, is disposed of by sale, or is disposed of other than by sale (e.g., “by abandonment, in an exchange measured based on the recorded amount of the nonmonetary asset relinquished, or in a distribution to owners in a spinoff”).
     
  3. The disposal of a component of an entity (or group of components of an entity) “represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results”.

 

Impact BioMedical Inc and its subsidiaries have financial reporting. The transaction is a disposal by sale and has a major effect on our financial results. Since it meets all of the test criteria set forth above, we have treated this disposal transaction as a discontinued operations in our financial statements.

 

On August 21, 2020, the transaction closed and Impact BioMedical Inc became a direct wholly owned subsidiary of DBHS. GBM received 483,334 shares of DSS common stock and 46,868 shares of DSS preferred stock, which preferred shares could be converted to 7,232,716 common shares (however, any conversion will be subject to the blocker GBM has agreed to, as described above). After this transaction, we hold 500,001 shares of the common stock of DSS, representing 9.7% of the outstanding common stock of DSS. Our CEO, Chan Heng Fai is the owner of the common stock of DSS (not including any common or preferred shares we hold) and is the executive chairman of the board of directors of DSS. The Company has elected the fair value option for the DSS common stock that would otherwise be accounted for under the equity method of accounting. ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, defines fair value of the financial assets. We value DSS common stock under level 1 category through quoted prices and preferred stock under level 3 category through an Option-Pricing Method. Under the “blocker” term in the agreement, the Company could convert 4,293 shares Convertible Preferred Stock into 662,500 shares of the common stock of DSS as of September 30, 2020. The quoted price of DSS common stock was $6.95 as of August 21, 2020. The total fair value of DSS common and preferred stocks GBM received as consideration for the disposal of Impact BioMedical was $46,284,171. As of August 21, 2020, the net asset value of Impact BioMedical was $94,011. The difference of $46,190,160 was recorded as additional paid in capital. We did not recognize gain or loss from this transaction as it was a related party transaction.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the discontinued operation loss from Impact BioMedical Inc was $0 and $56,053, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 the discontinued operation loss from Impact BioMedical Inc was $0 and $417,438, respectively.

 

On October 16, 2020, GBM converted an aggregate of 4,293 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into 662,500 shares of the common stock of DSS. On May 25, 2021 and again on June 21, 2021, GBM converted an aggregate of 42,575 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into 6,570,170 shares of the common stock of DSS. On September 3, 2021, the Company purchased additional 12,155,591 common shares of DSS. We now own approximately 24.9% of the common stock of DSS, and our CEO, Chan Heng Fai, owns an additional 3.1% of the common stock of DSS (not including any common shares we hold).

Net cash used in operating activities was $6,485,979 in the first nine months of 2021, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $1,115,300 in the same period of 2020. The higher purchase of trading securities for investment purposes explained the increased cash flow used in operating activities in the first nine months of 2021.

 

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $28,743,359 in the first nine months of 2021, as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $10,187 in the same period of 2020.

The increase in cash provided by financing activities in the first nine months of 2021 is primarily caused by the proceeds from stock issuance of $73,157,884 and warrants exercise of $2,975,194. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we also received cash proceeds of $280,000 from the sale of our GigWorld shares to individual investors and $68,502 from a loan.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2021 or the year ended December 31, 2020. We cannot assure you that future inflation will not have an adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition.

 

Impact of Foreign Exchange Rates

 

The effect of foreign exchange rate changes on the intercompany loans (under ASC 830), which mostly consist of loans from Singapore to the United States and which were approximately $31.8 million and $24.8 million on September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, are the reason for the significant fluctuation of foreign currency transaction Gain or Loss on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other Comprehensive Income. Because the intercompany loan balances between Singapore and United States will remain at approximately $25 million over the next year, we expect this fluctuation of foreign exchange rates to still significantly impact the results of operations in 2021, 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 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.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

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

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officers, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officers, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective as of September 30, 2021 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

(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 September 30, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

 

On July 27, 2021, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with Aegis Capital Corp., as the sole book-running manager and representative of the underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), relating to an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) of (i) 5,324,139 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a price to the public of $2.12 per share of Common Stock and (ii) 9,770,200 pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-funded Warrants”) to purchase 9,770,200 shares of Common Stock, at a price to the public of $2.11 per Pre-funded Warrant. The Offering was made pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File Number 333-258139), which was declared effective on July 27, 2021. The Offering closed on July 30, 2021.

 

The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering was approximately $28.8 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and the payment of other estimated offering expenses associated with the Offering that are payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for the following purposes: (i) to fund possible acquisitions of new companies and additional properties, (ii) to fund the further development of properties, including services and infrastructure; (iii) to develop rental opportunities at properties; (iv) to exercise warrants of our subsidiaries to accomplish the items in (i) – (iii) and (v) for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

The Company granted the Underwriters a 45-day over-allotment option to purchase up to 2,264,150 additional shares of Common Stock. The Company also paid the Underwriters an underwriting discount equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering and a non-accountable expense fee equal to 1.5% of the gross proceeds of the Offering. In addition, the Company agreed to issue to the representative warrants (the “Representative’s Warrants”) to purchase a number of shares equal to 3.0% of the aggregate number of shares (including shares underlying the Pre-funded Warrants) sold under in the Offering, or warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 520,754 shares, assuming the Underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full. The Representative’s Warrants have an exercise price equal to 125% of the public offering price, or $2.65 per share, with an exercise period of 24 months from issuance. On September 9, 2021 the Underwriters exercised their over-allotment option and were issued 2,264,150 shares of our Common Stock. On September 9, 2021 the Underwriters exercised the option and the Company received $4,386,998 proceeds from this exercise.

 

The Pre-funded Warrants were offered and sold to purchasers whose purchase of Common Stock in the Offering would otherwise result in the purchaser, together with its affiliates and certain related parties, beneficially owning more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%) of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock immediately following the consummation of the Offering in lieu of Common Stock that would otherwise result in the purchaser’s beneficial ownership exceeding 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock (or, at the election of the purchaser, 9.99%). Each Pre-funded Warrant is exercisable for one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The Pre-funded Warrants are immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until all of the Pre-funded Warrants are exercised in full. All of the Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised as of September 30, 2021.
