Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to, allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of real estate assets, allocation of development costs and capitalized interest to sold lots, fair value of the investments, the valuation allowance of deferred taxes, and contingencies. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In our property development business, land acquisition costs are allocated to each lot based on the area method, the size of the lot compared to the total size of all lots in the project. Development costs and capitalized interest are allocated to lots sold based on the total expected development and interest costs of the completed project and allocating a percentage of those costs based on the selling price of the sold lot compared to the expected sales values of all lots in the project. If allocation of development costs and capitalized interest based on the projection and relative expected sales value is impracticable, those costs would be allocated based on area method. When the Company purchases properties but does not receive the assessment information from the county, the Company allocates the values between land and building based on the data of similar properties. The Company makes appropriate adjustments once the assessment from the county is received. At the same time, any necessary adjustments to depreciation expense are made in the income statement. On September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company adjusted $ 0 and $ 951,349 between building and land, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company adjusted depreciation expenses of $ 0 and $ 0 , respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company adjusted depreciation expenses of $ 0 and $ 17,525 , respectively. F- 8 Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and at the bank and short-term deposits with financial institutions that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in values. Restricted Cash As a condition to the loan agreement with the Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (“M&T Bank”), the Company was required to maintain a minimum of $ 2,600,000 in an interest-bearing account maintained by the lender as additional security for the loans. The fund was required to remain as collateral for the loan and outstanding letters of credit until the loan and letters of credit are paid off in full and the loan agreement is terminated. The loan has expired during 2022 and only letters of credit were outstanding as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. On March 15, 2022 approximately $ 2,300,000 was released from collateral. On December 14, 2023 additional $ 201,751 was released from collateral. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the total balance of this account was $ 107,847 and $ 107,767 , respectively. The Company puts money into brokerage accounts specifically for equity investment. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the cash balance in these brokerage accounts was $ 839,796 and $ 859,799 , respectively. Investments held in Trust Account At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $ 0 and $ 21.0 million, respectively, in investments in treasury securities held in the Trust Account. The funds in the Trust Account were subject to redemption by investors of HWH International Inc. (formerly known as Alset Capital Acquisition Corp.) Account Receivables and Allowance for Credit Losses Account receivables is recorded at invoiced amounts net of an allowance for credit losses and do not bear interest. The allowance for credit losses is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing accounts receivable. The measurement and recognition of credit losses involves the use of judgment. Management’s assessment of expected credit losses includes consideration of current and expected economic conditions, market and industry factors affecting the Company’s customers (including their financial condition), the aging of account balances, historical credit loss experience, customer concentrations, customer creditworthiness, and the existence of sources of payment. The Company also establishes an allowance for credit losses for specific receivables when it is probable that the receivable will not be collected and the loss can be reasonably estimated. Account receivables considered uncollectible are charged against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the allowance for credit losses was an immaterial amount. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the balance of account receivables was $ 92,621 and $ 77,517 , respectively. Other Receivables and Allowance for Credit Losses Other receivables include developer reimbursements for Lakes at Black Oak project. The Company records an allowance for credit losses based on previous collection experiences, the creditability of the organizations that are supposed to reimburse us, the forecasts from the third-party engineering company and Moody’s credit ratings. The allowance amount for these reimbursements was immaterial at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. F- 9 On January 9, 2024, the Company sold 1,600,000 shares of HWH International Inc. (“HWH”) to two investors ( 800,000 shares to each). The consideration for each of the two purchases of stock was $ 8,000,000 , which was paid through the issuance of promissory notes at the purchase price of $ 10 per share. These promissory notes carry interest of 1.5 % and have maturity dates two years from the date of the notes. Each investor also entered into a Security Agreement. Security interest in the brokerage account into which each investor deposited the Shares (the “Collateral”) shall in each case serve as security for the Company’s repayment of their respective promissory notes, and repossession of such Collateral by the Company shall be the sole recourse for non-payment. On September 30, 2024, HWH’s stock price was $ 0.88 . The Company does not expect that investors will repay the promissory notes when due, as the value of the shares is significantly lower than the original purchase price of $ 10 per share. The Company expects that all the shares will be returned to the Company at the notes’ maturity date and the notes will be canceled as well. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized the receivable or any gain or loss related to the transaction. 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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, inventory consisted of finished goods from subsidiaries of HWH International Inc. and Hapi Metaverse Inc. The Company continuously evaluates the need for reserve for obsolescence and possible price concessions required to write-down inventories to net realizable value.

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. Equity-method investment is reviewed for impairment by assessing if the decline in market value of the investment below the carrying value is other-than-temporary. In making this determination, factors are evaluated in determining whether a loss in value should be recognized. These include consideration of the intent and ability of the Company to hold investment and the ability of the investee to sustain an earnings capacity, justifying the carrying amount of the investment. Impairment losses are recognized in other expense when a decline in value is deemed to be other-than-temporary. American Medical REIT Inc. LiquidValue Asset Management Pte. Ltd.

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. The Company identified Smart Reward Express Limited as a VIE and consolidated it into its financial statements. Real Estate Assets Real estate assets are recorded at cost, except when real estate assets are acquired that meet the definition of a business combination in accordance with FASB ASC 805 - “Business Combinations”, 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- 13 The Company capitalized construction costs of approximately $( 1.4 ) million and $( 1.4 ) million, net of sales, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company capitalized construction costs of approximately $ 5.1 million and $ 7.4 million, net of sales, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, 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. 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 no t record impairment on any of its projects during the three and nine months ended on September 30, 2024 and 2023. 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. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2023, the Company owned 132 homes. The aggregate purchase cost of all the homes is $ 30,998,258 . These homes are located in Montgomery and Harris Counties, Texas. 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 and improvements based upon their relative fair values at the date of acquisition. The purchase price for purposes of this allocation is inclusive of acquisition costs which typically include legal fees, title fees, property inspection and valuation fees, as well as other closing costs. Building improvements and buildings are depreciated over estimated useful lives of approximately 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 nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Rental of Model Houses In May 2023, the Company entered into lease agreement for one of its model houses located in Montgomery County, Texas. On July 14, 2023, 150 CCM Black Oak Ltd entered into a model home lease agreement with Davidson Homes, LLC (“Davidson”). On August 3, 2023, 150 CCM Black Oak Ltd entered into a development and construction agreement with Davidson Homes, LLC to build a model house located in Montgomery County, Texas. On January 4, 2024, 150 CCM Black Oak Ltd sent $ 220,076 to Davidson as reimbursement for final construction cost and the contractor’s fee. The model home lease commenced on January 1, 2024, lease term is twenty-four ( 24 ) full months and annual base rent equals to twelve percentage (12%) of the total of the final cost of construction and the contractor’s fee. F- 14 Revenue Recognition and Cost of Revenue ASC 606 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts to provide goods or services to customers. In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services. The provisions of ASC 606 include a five-step process by which the determination of revenue recognition, depicting the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts reflecting the payment to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASC 606 requires the Company to apply the following steps: (1) identify the contract with the customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied. The following represents the Company’s revenue recognition policies by Segments: Real Estate Property Sales Part of the Company’s real estate business is land development. The Company purchases land and develops it for building into residential communities. The developed lots are sold to builders (customers) for the construction of new homes. Builders enter a sales contract with the Company before they take the lots. The prices and timeline are determined and agreed upon in the contract. Builders do the inspections to make sure all conditions and requirements in contracts are met before purchasing the lots. A detailed breakdown of the five-step process for the revenue recognition of the Lakes at Black Oak project, which represented approximately 73 % and 86 %, of the Company’s revenue in the nine months ended on September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, 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. F- 15 The builders do the inspections to make sure all conditions/requirements are met before taking title of lots. The Company recognizes revenue at a point in time when title is transferred. The Company does not have further performance obligations or continuing involvement once title is transferred. Revenue is recognized at a point in time. Rental Revenue The Company leases real estate properties to its tenants under leases that are predominately classified as operating leases, in accordance with ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). Real estate rental revenue is comprised of minimum base rent and revenue from the collection of lease termination fees. Rent from tenants is recorded in accordance with the terms of each lease agreement on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease. Rental revenue recognition begins when the tenant controls the space and continues through the term of the related lease. Generally, at the end of the lease term, the Company provides the tenant with a one-year renewal option, including mostly the same terms and conditions provided under the initial lease term, subject to rent increases. The Company defers rental revenue related to lease payments received from tenants in advance of their due dates. These amounts are presented within deferred revenues and other payables on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. 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, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company did not recognize any deferred revenue and collected all rents due. Cost of Revenues Real Estate ● Cost of Real Estate Sale All of the costs of real estate sales are from our land development business. Land acquisition costs are allocated to each lot based on the area method, the size of the lot comparing to the total size of all lots in the project. Development costs and capitalized interest are allocated to lots sold based on the total expected development and interest costs of the completed project and allocating a percentage of those costs based on the selling price of the sold lot compared to the expected sales values of all lots in the project. If allocation of development costs and capitalized interest based on the projection and relative expected sales value is impracticable, those costs could also be allocated based on area method, the size of the lot comparing to the total size of all lots in the project. ● Cost of Rental Revenue Cost of rental revenue consists primarily of the costs associated with management and leasing fees to our management company, repairs and maintenance, depreciation and other related administrative costs. Utility expenses are paid directly by tenants. F- 16 Biohealth ● Product Direct Sales The Company’s net sales consist of product sales. The Company’s performance obligation is to transfer ownership of its products to its members. The Company generally recognizes revenue when product is delivered to its members. Revenue is recorded net of applicable taxes, allowances, refund or returns. The Company receives the net sales price in cash or through credit card payments at the point of sale. If any member returns a product to the Company on a timely basis, they may obtain a replacement product from the Company for such returned product. We do not have buyback program. However, when the customer requests a return and management decides that the refund is necessary, we initiate the refund after deducting all the benefits that a member has earned. The returns are deducted from our sales revenue on our financial statements. Allowances for product and membership returns 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. Product and membership returns for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were approximately $ 0 and $ 0 , respectively. Product and membership returns for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were approximately $ 0 and $ 1,184 , respectively. ● Annual Membership The Company collects an annual membership fee from its members. The fee is fixed, paid in full at the time upon joining the membership; the fee is not refundable. The Company’s performance obligation is to provide its members the right to (a) purchase products from the Company, (b) access to certain back-office services, (c) receive commissions and (d) attend corporate events. The associated performance obligation is satisfied over time, generally over the term of the membership agreement which is for a one-year period. Before the membership fee is recognized as revenue, it is recorded as deferred revenue. Starting in 2020 the revenue from sale of membership declined to $ 0 in 2022. The Company is currently working on a new membership model. Other Businesses ● Food and Beverage The Company, through Alset F&B One and Alset F&B PLQ each acquired a restaurant franchise licenses at the end of 2021 and 2022 respectively, both of which have since commenced operations. These licenses will allow Alset F&B One and Alset F&B PLQ each to operate a Killiney Kopitiam restaurant in Singapore. Killiney Kopitiam, founded in 1919, is a Singapore-based chain of mass-market, traditional kopitiam style service cafes selling traditional coffee and tea, along with a range of local delicacies such as Curry Chicken, Laksa, Mee Siam, and Mee Rebus. The Company, through HCI-T, commenced operation of two cafés during 2022 and 2021, which are located in Singapore and South Korea. The cafes are operated by subsidiaries of HCI-T, namely Hapi Café SG Pte. Ltd. in Singapore and Hapi Café Korea Inc. in Seoul, South Korea. Hapi Cafes are distinctive lifestyle café outlets that strive to revolutionize the way individuals dine, work, and live, by providing a conducive environment for everyone to relish the four facets – health and wellness, fitness, productivity, and recreation all under one roof. In 2023, the Company incorporated three new subsidiaries Shenzhen Leyouyou Catering Management Co., Ltd., Dongguan Leyouyou Catering Management Co., Ltd. and GuangZhou Leyouyou Catering Management Co., Ltd. in the People’s Republic of China. The three companies are principally engaged in the food and beverage business in Mainland China. Additionally, through its subsidiary MOC HK Limited, the Company is focusing on operating café business in Hong Kong. This business was acquired on October 5, 2022. During the acquisition, a goodwill of $ 60,343 had been generated for the Company. The café was closed on September 16, 2024 and the goodwill was impaired during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. In the second quarter of 2024, the Company ceased operations of its subsidiary Alset F&B (PLQ) Pte. Ltd. Due to the closure of this subsidiary the Company wrote off $ 5,820 of fixed assets, which is included in general and administrative expenses and recorded a gain on termination of lease of $ 246 , which is included in other income on the Company’s Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. F- 17 ● Remaining performance obligations As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no remaining performance obligations or continuing involvement, as all service obligations within the other business activities segment have been completed. Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation”. ASC 718 requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including stock options, based on the grant date fair value of the award and to recognize it as compensation expense over the period the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. Stock option forfeitures are recognized at the date of employee termination. During the three and nine months ended on September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded $ 0 as stock-based compensation expense. Foreign currency Functional and reporting currency Items included in the financial statements of each entity in the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“functional currency”). The financial statements of the Company are presented in U.S. dollars (the “reporting currency”). The functional and reporting currency of the Company is the United States dollar (“U.S. dollar”). The financial records of the Company’s subsidiaries located in Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia, South Korea, and the People’s Republic of China are maintained in their local currencies, the Singapore Dollar (S$), Hong Kong Dollar (HK$), Australian Dollar (“AUD”), South Korean Won (“KRW”) and Chinese Yuan (CN¥), 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 loss of $ 3,673,699 and gain of $ 198,817 during the three months ended on September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company recorded foreign exchange loss of $ 1,634,713 and gain of $ 561,345 during the nine months ended on September 30, 2024 and 2023, 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, KRW and CN¥, translate their operating results and financial positions into the U.S. dollar, the Company’s reporting currency. Assets and liabilities are translated using the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date. Revenue, expense, gains and losses are translated using the average rate for the year. Translation adjustments are reported as cumulative translation adjustments and are shown as a separate component of comprehensive income (loss). The Company recorded other comprehensive gain of $ 4,221,505 from foreign currency translation for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and $ 1,852,698 loss for the three months ended September 30, 2023, in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The Company recorded other comprehensive gain of $ 1,805,678 from foreign currency translation for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and $ 2,940,640 loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, in accumulated other comprehensive loss. F- 18 Earnings (loss) per Share The Company presents basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share data for its common shares. Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to common stock shareholders of the Company by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year, adjusted for treasury shares held by the Company. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to common stock shareholders and the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for treasury shares held, for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares, which comprise convertible securities, such as stock options, convertible bonds and warrants. At September 30, 2024, there were 425,216 potentially dilutive warrants outstanding. At December 31, 2023 there were 425,216 potentially dilutive warrants outstanding. Fair Value Measurements ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures , defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This topic also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires classification based on observable and unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in an active market for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity; therefore, the inputs are developed by the Company using estimates and assumptions that the Company expects a market participant would use, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques. The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The liabilities in connection with the conversion and make-whole features included within certain of the Company’s notes payable and warrants are each classified as a level 3 liability. Non-controlling interests Non-controlling interests represent the equity in subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to owners of the Company, and are presented separately in the condensed consolidated statements of operation and comprehensive income, and within equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, separately from equity attributable to owners of the Company. On September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the aggregate non-controlling interests in the Company were $ 9,197,244 and $ 8,601,562 , 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. F- 19 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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the capitalized financing costs were $ 383,806 and $ 1,225,739 , respectively. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07), which requires an enhanced disclosure of significant segment expenses on an annual and interim basis. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the guidance should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. 3. CONCENTRATIONS The Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions in different countries. These balances are usually secured by the central banks’ insurance companies. At times, these balances may exceed the insurance limits. In the three months ended September 30, 2024, one customer accounted for approximately 100 % of the Company’s property development revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2023, one customer accounted for approximately 100 % of the Company’s property development revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, two customers accounted for approximately 57 % and 43 % of the Company’s property development revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, three customers accounted for approximately 36 %, 36 %, and 27 % of the Company’s property development revenue. 4. SEGMENTS Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision 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.

Business Combination of Alset Capital Acquisition Corp. and HWH International Inc. On January 9, 2024, two entities affiliated with Alset Inc. completed a previously announced transaction. On September 9, 2022, Alset Capital entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with our indirect subsidiary HWH International Inc., a Nevada corporation and HWH Merger Sub Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Alset Capital (“Merger Sub”). The Company and its 85.7 % owned subsidiary Alset International own Alset Acquisition Sponsor, LLC, the sponsor (the “Sponsor”) of Alset Capital. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on January 9, 2024, a Business Combination between Alset Capital and HWH was effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into HWH, with HWH surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Alset Capital (the “Merger”), and Alset Capital changing its name to HWH International Inc. (“New HWH”). The total consideration paid at the closing of the Merger by New HWH to the HWH shareholders was 12,500,000 shares of New HWH common stock. Alset International owned the majority of the outstanding shares of HWH at the time of the Business Combination, and received 10,900,000 shares of New HWH as consideration for its shares of HWH. New HWH currently has 16,223,301 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

In addition, the Sponsor owns warrants convertible into up to 236,875 shares of New HWH common stock upon exercise. The transaction described above was a transaction between entities under common control. In the transactions under common control, financial statements and financial information were presented as of the beginning of the period as though the assets and liabilities had been transferred at that date. The Company controlled both entities and accordingly, the equity was eliminated in consolidation. F- 24 Purchase of Hapi Travel Ltd. Stock On June 14, 2023, the Company’s subsidiary completed acquisition of Hapi Travel Limited (“HTL”), an online travel business started in Hong Kong and under common control of the Company. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the operations of the acquired entity from its acquisition date. The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination. Accordingly, consideration paid by the Company to complete the acquisition is initially allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The recorded amounts for assets acquired and liabilities assumed are provisional and subject to change during the measurement period, which is up to 12 months from the acquisition date. As a result of the acquisition of HTL, a deemed dividend of $ 214,174 was generated as a result of the business combination, which represents the purchase price of $ 214,993 in excess of identifiable equity. The common control transaction described above resulted in the following basis of accounting for the financial reporting periods: ● The acquisition of HTL was accounted for prospectively as of June 14, 2023 as this did not represent a change in reporting entity. ● The acquisition of HTL was under common control and was consolidated in accordance with ASC 850-50. The condensed consolidated financial statements were not retrospectively adjusted for the acquisition of HTL as of January 1, 2022 for comparative purposes because the historical operations of HTL were deemed to be immaterial to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

GOODWILL The Company continually evaluates potential acquisitions that align with the Company’s plans, namely, starting the F&B business in Asia. Starting an F&B business in Hong Kong, China, and Taiwan can be an excellent opportunity due to the large consumer market, diverse food culture, high demand for international cuisine, favorable business environment, skilled labor force, and opportunities for growth. On October 4, 2022, the Company completed its F&B business acquisition of MOC HK Limited (“MOC”), a F&B business started in Hong Kong. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the operations of the acquired entity from its acquisition date. The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination. Accordingly, consideration paid by the Company to complete the acquisition is initially allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated acquisition date fair values. As a result of the acquisition of MOC, goodwill of $ 60,343 generated in a business combination represents the purchase price of $ 70,523 in excess of identifiable tangible and intangible assets. Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not amortized. Instead, they are reviewed periodically for impairment. On September 16, 2024, the Company temporarily ceased the café business of MOC after the café’s lease expired and MOC declined to enter into a new lease with the landlord. The Company is searching for a better location to restart the business in the future. As a result, the goodwill of $ 60,343 was fully impaired on September 30, 2024. On April 18, 2024, Hapi Acquisition Pte Ltd (“HAPL”), the Company’s subsidiary, completed acquisition of Hapi Café Company Limited (“HCTW”), an F&B business started in Taiwan. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the operations of the acquired entity from its acquisition date. The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination. Accordingly, consideration paid by HAPL to complete the acquisition is initially allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated acquisition date fair values. As of the date of acquisition, HCTW had a total of $ 429,962 due to a related party, Alset Business Development Pte. Ltd, (“ABDPL”) a subsidiary of the Company. HCTW borrowed the money from ABDPL since 2022 for its business start-up and daily operations. As a result of the acquisition of HCTW, the Company eliminated amounts due to ABDPL. As a result of the acquisition of HCTW, goodwill of $ 353,616 generated in a business combination represents the purchase price of $ 3,300 in excess of identifiable tangible and intangible assets. Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not amortized. Instead, they are reviewed periodically for impairment. The Company impaired the goodwill $ 353,616 as a loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 due to the poor financial situation of HCTW. The table below reflects the Company’s estimates of the acquisition date fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the 2024 acquisition: SCHEDULE OF ESTIMATES OF ACQUISITION FAIR VALUE HCTW Purchase Price Cash $ 3,300 Total purchase consideration $ 3,300 Purchase Price Allocation Assets acquired Current assets $ 24,175 Deposit 41,987 Property and Equipment, net 47,890 Operating lease right-of-use assets, net 379,424 Total assets acquired $ 493,476 Liabilities assumed: Current liabilities $ ( 2,680 ) Due to related party ( 429,962 ) Operating lease liability ( 411,150 ) Total liabilities assumed $ ( 843,792 ) Net assets acquired $ ( 350,316 ) Goodwill $ 353,616 Total purchase consideration $ 3,300 F- 29 The Company evaluates goodwill on an annual basis in the fourth quarter or more frequently if management believes indicators of impairment exist. Such indicators could include, but are not limited to (1) a significant adverse change in legal factors or in business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, or (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. The Company first assesses qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. If management concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, management conducts a quantitative goodwill impairment test. The impairment test involves comparing the fair value of the applicable reporting unit with its carrying value. The Company estimates the fair values of its reporting units using a combination of the income, or discounted cash flows, approach and the market approach, which utilizes comparable companies’ data. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The Company’s evaluation of goodwill completed during the year resulted in no impairment losses. The following table summarizes changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023.

Subject to Possible Redemption The Company accounts for its, and its subsidiaries’ common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance enumerated in ASC 480 “ Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity ”. Common stock subject to possible redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including shares of common stock that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, shares of common stock are classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered by the Company to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at December 31, 2023, the Class A common stock of HWH International Inc. subject to possible redemption in the amount of $ 20,457,011 , are presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s balance sheets.

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 at a range from 0.35% to 7.2% in 2024 and 2023, which were used as the discount rates . The Company’s weighted-average remaining lease term relating to its operating leases are 2.32 years, with a weighted-average discount rate of the 3.76 %. The balances of operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities as of September 30, 2024 were $ 1,832,925 and $ 1,903,121 respectively.

Alset International owned the majority of the outstanding shares of HWH Nevada at the time of the business combination, and received 10,900,000 shares of New HWH as consideration for its shares of HWH Nevada. Following these transactions, HWH International Inc. is now a purpose-driven lifestyle company encompassing differentiated offerings from four core pillars: Hapi Marketplace, Hapi Cafe, Hapi Travel and Hapi Wealth Builder. HWH International Inc. seeks to develops new pathways to help people in their pursuit of Health, Wealth and Happiness. HWH International Inc. is listed on the Nasdaq under the symbol HWH. Stock Purchase Agreement and Debt Conversion Agreements On September 24, 2024, HWH entered into two (2) debt conversion agreements with creditors (each an “Agreement,” or collectively, the “Agreements”): (i) Alset International Limited (which is HWH’s majority stockholder); and (ii) Alset Inc. (which in turn is Alset International Limited’s majority stockholder). Each Agreement converts debt owed by HWH to the respective creditor into shares of HWH’s common stock. Under the terms of their respective Agreements, Alset Inc. converted $300,000 of HWH’s debt into 476,190 shares of HWH’s common stock, and Alset International Limited converted $3,501,759 of HWH’s debt into 5,558,347 shares of HWH’s common stock. Under the Agreements, the debt conversions resulted in the issuance of newly issued shares of HWH’s common stock. The price at which the debt conversion was fixed was set at $0.63 per share of HWH common stock. Cumulatively, the newly issued shares contemplated by the Agreements represented 6,034,537 new shares of HWH’s common stock. On September 26, 2024, Alset Inc. entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with the Company’s majority owned subsidiary, Alset International Limited. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company will purchase 6,500,000 shares (the “Shares”) of HWH International Inc. (the Nasdaq-listed company).

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the operations of the acquired entity from its acquisition date. The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination. Accordingly, consideration paid by the Company to complete the acquisition is initially allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The recorded amounts for assets acquired and liabilities assumed are provisional and subject to change during the measurement period, which is up to 12 months from the acquisition date. As a result of the acquisition of HTL, a deemed dividend of $214,174 was generated as a result of the business combination, which represents the purchase price of $214,993 in excess of identifiable equity. The common control transaction described above resulted in the following basis of accounting for the financial reporting periods: ● The acquisition of HTL was accounted for prospectively as of June 14, 2023 as this did not represent a change in reporting entity. ● The acquisition of HTL was under common control and was consolidated in accordance with ASC 850-50. The condensed consolidated financial statements were not retrospectively adjusted for the acquisition of HTL as of January 1, 2022 for comparative purposes because the historical operations of HTL were deemed to be immaterial to the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

In the event that Hapi Metaverse elects to convert any portion of the loan into shares of VEII’s Common Stock in lieu of cash payment in satisfaction of that loan, then VEII will issue to Hapi Metaverse five (5) detachable warrants for each share of VEII’s Common Stock issued in a conversion (“Warrants”). Each Warrant will entitle Hapi Metaverse to purchase one (1) share of VEII’s Common Stock at a per-share exercise price equal to the Conversion Price.

Revenue was $12,173,964 and $21,070,983 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease in property sales from the Lakes at Black Oak Project in the first nine months of 2024 contributed to lower revenue in this period. In late 2022 and early 2023, the Company entered into three contracts with builders to sell multiple lots from its Lakes at Black Oak project. The sales contemplated by these contracts were contingent on certain conditions which the parties to such contracts had to meet and were expected to generate approximately $23 million of funds from operations, not including certain expenses that the Company was required to pay. The sale of 335 lots closed in the first six months of 2023 generating approximately $18.1 million revenue. The sale of remaining lots closed on January 4, 2024 generating approximately $5.0 million revenue. On November 13, 2023, the Company entered into two contracts with builders to sell multiple lots from its Lakes at Black Oak and Alset Villa projects. The closing of these transactions depends on the satisfaction of certain conditions. The sale of the first 70 lots closed on July 1, 2024 generating approximately $3.8 million. The sale of the remaining 72 lots closed on October 10, 2024 generating approximately $3.9 million. The Company plans to continue its near-term focus on lot sales to regional and national builders. Funds from such lot sales will substantially improve the Company’s liquidity, strengthen its financial position and meet is working capital requirements. Revenue from rental business was $724,699 and $705,334 in the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Revenue from rental business was $2,150,204 and $2,030,112 in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, 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 May 2023, the Company entered into lease agreement for one of its model houses located in Montgomery County, Texas. The revenue from the lease was $6,300 and $18,900 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The revenue from the lease was $6,300 and $10,500 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. In January 2024, the Company entered into lease agreement for another model house located in Montgomery County, Texas. The revenue from the lease was $6,602 and $19,807 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The Company operates its biohealth segment in the South Korean market through one of the subsidiaries of HWH International Inc., HWH World Inc (“HWH World”). HWH World operates based on a direct sale model of health supplements. HWH World recognized $0 and $0 in revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. HWH World recognized $0 and $12,786 in revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The revenue from our Digital Transformation Technology segment, in the amount of $0 and $28,094, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, was for the services rendered to customers. The Company began generating revenue from a project providing AI chatbot services to Value Exchange Int’l (Hong Kong) Limited, a related company of the Company and a subsidiary of VEII located in Hong Kong, on a monthly basis in 2022. This service was terminated on June 30, 2023. 8 The category described as “Other” includes corporate and financial services, food and beverage business, digital transformation technology, and new venture businesses. “Other” includes certain costs that are not allocated to the reportable segments, primarily consisting of unallocated corporate overhead costs, including administrative functions not allocated to the reportable segments from global functional expenses. The financial services, food and beverage businesses and new venture businesses are small and diversified, and accordingly they are not separately addressed as one independent category. In the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the revenue from other businesses was $421,012 and $278,545, respectively. In the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the revenue from other businesses was $1,176,260 and $802,741, respectively, generated by Korean, Singaporean and Chinese café shops and restaurants. Cost of Revenues and Operating Expenses The following tables sets forth period-over-period changes in cost of revenues for each of our reporting segments: Three-months Ended Change September 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 Dollars Percentage Real Estate $ 2,700,952 $ 587,232 $ 2,113,720 360 % Biohealth 22 (88,141 ) 88,163 -100 % Digital Transformation Technology - 6 (6 ) -100 % Other 248,850 81,962 166,888 204 % Total Cost of Revenues $ 2,949,824 $ 581,059 $ 2,368,765 408 % Nine-months Ended Change September 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 Dollars Percentage Real Estate $ 7,882,274 $ 12,755,702 $ (4,873,428 ) -38 % Biohealth 3,409 21,516 (18,107 ) -84 % Digital Transformation Technology - 9,145 (9,145 ) -100 % Other 552,466 222,470 329,996 148 % Total Cost of Revenues $ 8,438,149 $ 13,008,833 $ (4,570,684 ) -35 % Cost of revenues increased from $581,059 in the three months ended September 30, 2023 to $2,949,824 in the three months ended September 30, 2024. Cost of revenues decreased from $13,008,833 in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $8,438,149 in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease is a result of the decrease in sales in the Lakes at Black Oak project. 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 $409,140 to $2,010,887 in the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively. The gross margin decreased from $8,062,150 to $3,735,815 in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2024, respectively. The decrease of gross margin was caused by the decrease in sales in the Lakes at Black Oak Project. The following tables sets forth period-over-period changes in operating expenses for each of our reporting segments. Three-months Ended Change September 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 Dollars Percentage Real Estate $ 381,254 $ 426,542 $ (45,288 ) -11 % Biohealth (204,709 ) 160,821 (365,530 ) -227 % Digital Transformation Technology 130,908 125,316 5,592 4 % Other 2,667,214 1,773,365 893,849 50 % Total Operating Expenses $ 2,974,667 $ 2,486,044 $ 488,623 20 % 9 Nine-months Ended Change September 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 Dollars Percentage Real Estate $ 1,321,120 $ 1,418,743 $ (97,623 ) -7 % Biohealth 910,354 638,738 271,616 43 % Digital Transformation Technology 421,543 327,746 93,797 29 % Other 7,122,562 4,734,061 2,388,501 50 % Total Operating Expenses $ 9,775,579 $ 7,119,288 $ 2,656,291 37 % The increase of operating expenses in the first nine months of 2024 compared to the same period of 2023 was mostly caused by recording impairment of goodwill and investment. Other Income (Expense) In the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had other income of $2,433,020 compared to other expenses of $14,903,980 in the three months ended September 30, 2023. In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had other expenses of $6,994,516 compared to other expenses of $28,060,334 in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The loss on sale of securities and loss on consolidation of subsidiary are the primary reason for the volatility in these two periods. Realized loss on security investment was $679,204 in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $11,291,166 loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Loss on consolidation of subsidiary was $0 in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to a loss of $21,657,036 in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Net Loss In the three months ended September 30, 2024 the Company had net income of $1,469,239 compared to net loss of $17,026,008 in the three months ended September 30, 2023. In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had net loss of $6,994,516 compared to net loss of $27,162,596 in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Liquidity and Capital Resources Our real estate assets have decreased to $37,904,992 as of September 30, 2024 from $42,137,152 as of December 31, 2023. This decrease primarily reflects the sale of properties in the Lakes at Black Oak project. Our cash has decreased from $26,921,727 as of December 31, 2023 to $16,679,183 as of September 30, 2024. Our liabilities decreased from $9,066,700 at December 31, 2023 to $5,390,173 at September 30, 2024. Our total assets have decreased to $98,788,837 as of September 30, 2024 from $126,314,028 as of December 31, 2023 mainly due to decrease in cash held in Trust Account after shareholders of HWH International Inc. redeemed their shares. On April 17, 2019, SeD Maryland Development LLC entered into a Development Loan Agreement with Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (“M&T Bank”) in the principal amount not to exceed at any one time outstanding the sum of $8,000,000, with a cumulative loan advance amount of $18,500,000. The line of credit bore interest rate on LIBOR plus 375 basis points. SeD Maryland Development LLC was also provided with a Letter of Credit (“L/C”) Facility in an aggregate amount of up to $900,000. The L/C commission is 1.5% per annum on the face amount of the L/C. Other standard lender fees apply in the event the L/C is drawn down. The loan is a revolving line of credit. The L/C Facility is not a revolving loan, and amounts advanced and repaid may not be re-borrowed. Repayment of the Loan Agreement is secured by a $2,600,000 collateral fund and a Deed of Trust issued to the Lender on the property owned by SeD Maryland. On March 15, 2022, approximately $2,300,000 was released from collateral, leaving approximately $300,000 as collateral for outstanding letters of credit. On December 14, 2023 approximately $201,751 was released from collateral, leaving approximately $100,000 as collateral for outstanding letters of credit. 10 The future development timeline of Lakes at Black Oak will be based on multiple conditions, including the amount of funds which may be raised from capital markets, the loans we may secure from third party financial institutions, and government reimbursements which may be received. The development will be step by step and expenses will be contingent on the amount of funding we will receive. On November 13, 2023, 150 CCM Black Oak Ltd. (the “Seller”), a Texas Limited Partnership, entered into two Contracts for Purchase and Sale and Escrow Instructions (each an “Agreement,” collectively, the “Agreements”) with Century Land Holdings of Texas, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (the “Buyer”). Pursuant to the terms of one of the aforementioned Agreements, the Seller has agreed to sell approximately 142 single-family detached residential lots (the “Section 4 Agreement”) comprising a section of a residential community in the city of Magnolia, Texas known as the “Lakes at Black Oak.” The selling price of these lots is anticipated to equal approximately $7.4 million. Pursuant to the other Agreement, the Seller has agreed to sell 63 single-family detached residential lots (the “Alset Villas Agreement”) in the city of Magnolia, Texas. In 2021, our subsidiary Alset EHome Inc. acquired approximately 19.5 acres of partially developed land near Houston, Texas which was used to develop a community named Alset Villas (“Alset Villas”). Alset EHome was in the process of developing the 63 lots at Alset Villas in 2023. The selling price of these lots is anticipated to equal approximately $3.3 million. The closing of the transactions described above depends on the satisfaction of certain conditions. The sale of the first 70 lots closed on July 1, 2024 generating approximately $3.8 million. In addition, the Company will be entitled to receive certain reimbursements in the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025. 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. Summary of Cash Flows for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 Nine-months Ended 2024 2023 Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities $ (8,751,416 ) $ 8,255,675 Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities $ 18,707,934 $ (748,188 ) Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities $ (21,370,610 ) $ 3,408,560 Cash Flows from Operating Activities Net cash used in operating activities was $8,751,416 in the first nine months of 2024, as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $8,255,675 in the same period of 2023. Property sales from the Black Oak project in 2023 were the main reason for the cash provided by operating activities in 2023. Cash Flows from Investing Activities Net cash provided by investing activities was $18,707,934 in the first nine months of 2024, as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $748,188 in the same period of 2023. In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued $1,368,083 in loans to related parties and $1,212,021 in loans receivable. At the same time, we received $101,096 from repayment of related party loan and withdrew cash from trust account of $21,102,871 for redemption of HWH’s shares. In the nine months ended September 30, 2023 we invested $734,688 in real estate improvements, issued $1,693,455 in loans to related parties and received $2,675,735 from repayment of related party notes receivable. Cash Flows from Financing Activities Net cash used in financing activities was $21,370,610 in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to net cash provided of $3,408,560 in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The cash used in financing activities in the first nine months of 2024 is caused by repayment of $398,000 of note payable and repayment of HWH’s shares of $21,102,871. In that same period, the Company borrowed $130,261 from commercial loan. The cash provided by financing activities in the first nine months of 2023 is caused by the proceeds from stock issuance of $3,433,921. 11 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, 2024 or the year ended December 31, 2023. 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 $26 million and $23 million on September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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 $26 million over the next year, we expect this fluctuation of foreign exchange rates to still significantly impact the results of operations in 2024, especially given that the foreign exchange rate may and is expected to be volatile. If the amount of intercompany loan is lowered in the future, the effect will be reduced. However, at this moment, we do not expect to repay the intercompany loans in the short term. Emerging Growth Company Status We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies.” Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of these exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company or until we affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of this exemption. Seasonality The real estate business is subject to seasonal shifts in costs as certain work is more likely to be performed at certain times of the year. This may impact the expenses of our subsidiary Alset EHome Inc. from time to time. In addition, should we commence building homes, we are likely to experience periodic spikes in sales as we commence the sales process at a particular location. Item 3.
