CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, and are subject to the safe harbor created thereby. All statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q other
than statements of historical facts, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, our business
strategy and plans and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “may,”
“will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect”
and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on
our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition,
results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking
statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in “Risk Factors” of
our Prospectus dated October 17, 2024 and in any subsequent filing we make with the SEC, as well as in any documents incorporated by
reference that describe risks and factors that could cause results to differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking
statements.
Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and
rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can
we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results
to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions,
the future events and trends discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not occur and actual results could differ materially
and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected
in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, achievements or
events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will occur. We are under no duty to update any of these forward-looking
statements after completion of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations.

LINKHOME HOLDINGS INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION
OF BUSINESS
Organization and Business
Linkhome Holdings Inc. (“Linkhome”,
“Linkhome Holdings” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada, U.S. on November 6, 2023 .
The Company is a holding entity with no material operation of its own. Linkhome conducts substantially all of the operations through its
fully owned subsidiary Linkhome Realty Group (“Linkhome Realty” or the “Subsidiary”), formerly known as Goldman
Realty & Mortgage Inc.. Linkhome Realty was incorporated in the State of California, U.S. on July 13, 2021, and is
engaged in real estate related activities including real estate purchases and sales through Cash Offer, and various real estate services,
such as real estate agency service for buying and selling properties, property management, home renovation and mortgage referral services.
On November 17, 2023, Linkhome Realty obtained the Company’s real estate broker license, following the Company’s Chief
Executive Officer’s (“CEO”) receipt of his personal real estate broker license on August 8, 2023.
On December 1, 2023, all
the shareholders of Linkhome Realty transferred all of their ownerships in Linkhome Realty and exchanged for 13,500,000 shares of
Linkhome Holdings, for which the CEO is the major shareholder. The transfer was considered as a reorganization of entities under common
control. The consolidation of the Company and its subsidiary has been accounted for at historical cost and prepared on the basis as if
the aforementioned transactions had become effective as of the beginning of the first period presented in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements.
NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated
financial statements as of September 30, 2024 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 have
been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding consolidated financial reporting. The consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of Linkhome Holdings and Linkhome Realty. All intercompany transactions and balances between
the Company and its subsidiary have been eliminated upon consolidation. In the opinion of management, such financial information includes
all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, unless otherwise indicated) considered necessary for a fair presentation
of the Company’s financial position at such date and the operating results and cash flows for such periods. Operating results for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
entire year or for any other subsequent interim period.
Emerging Growth Company
The Company is an “emerging
growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups
Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements
that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required
to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure
obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding
a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Further, Section 102(b)(1) of
the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until
private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class
of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The
JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to
non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended
transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies,
the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised
standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging
growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because
of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
6
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated
financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities as of the dates of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and judgments include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, allowance
for credit losses, income taxes, the useful lives of long-lived assets and assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-lived assets.
Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances,
the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Although actual amounts
may differ from the estimated amounts, such differences are not likely to be material.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements
of cash flows, the Company considers cash, money market funds, investments in interest bearing demand deposit accounts, time deposits
and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalent
readily convertible to known amounts of cash are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Credit Losses
On January 1, 2023, the
Company adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses
on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”). This standard replaced the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology
that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. CECL requires an estimate of credit losses for
the remaining estimated life of the financial asset using historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts
and generally applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities,
and some off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded commitments to extend credit. Financial assets measured at amortized
cost will be presented at the net amount expected to be collected by using an allowance for credit losses. In addition, CECL made changes
to the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities. One such change is to require credit losses to be presented as an allowance
rather than as a write-down on available-for-sale debt securities if management does not intend to sell and does not believe
that it is more likely than not they will be required to sell.
The Company adopted ASC 326
and all related subsequent amendments thereto effective January 1, 2023, using the modified retrospective approach for all financial
assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures. The was no transition adjustment of the adoption of CECL.
The Company’s accounts
receivable and prepaid expense in the consolidated balance sheets are within the scope of ASC Topic 326. As the Company has limited
customers and debtors, the Company uses the loss-rate method to evaluate the expected credit losses on an individual basis. When
establishing the loss rate, the Company makes the assessment on various factors, including historical experience, creditworthiness of
customers and debtors, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors
that may affect its ability to collect from the customers and debtors. The Company also provides specific provisions for allowance when
facts and circumstances indicate that the receivable is unlikely to be collected.
Expected credit losses are
recorded as an allowance for credit losses, which is netted against accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheets, and are recognized
as an expense in the consolidated statements of income. Receivables are written off against the allowance when all collection efforts
have been exhausted and recovery is deemed remote. If the Company recovers amounts that were previously written off, the recovered amounts
are recognized as a reduction to the provision for credit losses in the consolidated statements of income.
7
Accounts Receivable, Net
Accounts receivable represent
the amounts that the Company has an unconditional right to consideration, which are stated at the historical carrying amount net of allowance
for credit losses. The Company maintains allowances for credit losses for estimated losses. The Company reviews the accounts receivable
on a periodic basis and makes allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability
of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including historical losses, the age of the receivable balance,
the customer’s historical payment pattens and creditworthiness, current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts
of future economic conditions. Accounts are written off 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 Company had allowances for
credit losses of $0 and $ 9,092 , respectively.
Advance to Contractor
Advance to contractor represents
the amount paid to contractor in advance for home renovation projects that are not yet completed and from which future economic benefits
are expected to be received by the Company within normal operating cycle. A home renovation project is generally completed within one
to three months from the date the advance payment is made.
Deferred Initial Public Offering (“IPO”)
Costs
The Company accounts for deferred
IPO costs in accordance with the requirement of ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A — “Expenses
of Offering.” Deferred offering costs consist of underwriting, legal, consulting, and other expenses incurred up to the balance
sheet date that are directly attributable to the planned IPO. These deferred costs will be charged to shareholders’ equity
upon the successful completion of the IPO. If the IPO is unsuccessful, all deferred costs, along with any additional expenses incurred,
will be charged to operations. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, deferred IPO costs amounted to $ 624,218 and $ 0 ,
respectively.
Equipment, Net
Equipment is stated at cost,
net of accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, if any. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred, while
additions, renewals and improvements that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. When assets are retired or
otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation is removed from the respective accounts, and any resulting gain or
loss is reflected in the consolidated statements of income. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets. Depreciation expenses related to furniture and fixtures, office equipment, and vehicle for the three months
ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $ 4,704 and $ 1,404 , respectively. Depreciation expenses related to furniture and fixtures, office
equipment, and vehicle for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $ 14,059 and $ 1,427 , respectively. The
estimated useful lives by asset classification are generally as follows:
Estimated
Useful Life
Furniture and fixtures
3 – 7 years
Office equipment
3 – 5 years
Vehicles
5 years
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, which
include property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by
comparing the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the
carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by
which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s
expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable.
The Company evaluates events
and changes in circumstances that could indicate the carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events
or changes in circumstances occur, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying
value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future undiscounted cash flows
is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company records an impairment charge in the period in which such a determination
is made. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying
amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Based on the above analysis, no impairment loss was recognized related to these
assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
8
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset
and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this
method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current period and (ii) deferred
tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or
tax returns. Deferred tax assets also include the prior years’ net operating losses carried forward. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences
are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the
results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets
reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the
deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company follows FASB ASC
Topic 740, which prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position
taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FASB ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on recognition of income tax assets and
liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated
with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods, and income tax disclosures.
Under the provisions of FASB
ASC Topic 740, when tax returns are filed, it is likely some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities,
while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately
sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available
evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution
of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that
meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent
likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions
taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying
balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest
associated with unrecognized tax benefits is classified as interest expense and penalties are classified in selling, general and administrative
expenses in the statements of income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did
not take any uncertain positions that would necessitate recording a tax related liability.
Prior to January 1, 2024,
Linkhome Realty filed its income tax return under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRS”) as a S-corporation, and
elected to be taxed as a pass-through entity, for which the income, losses, deductions, and credits flow through to the shareholders
of the company for federal income tax purposes. Effective January 1, 2024, Linkhome Realty’s tax status became C-corporation,
and is subject to a federal income tax rate of 21 % and California state income tax rate of 8.84 %. As a parent holding company of Linkhome
Realty, Linkhome Holdings was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 6, 2023, and is only subject to a federal income tax
rate of 21 %.
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with ASC 606,
“Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services.
The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods
or services. The Company recognizes revenues following the five-step model prescribed under ASU No. 2014-09: (i) identifies
contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identifies the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determines the transaction
price; (iv) allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognizes revenues when
(or as) it satisfies the performance obligation.
The Company derives its revenues
primarily from real estate services and real estate purchases and sales through Cash Offer.
9
Real Estate Service Revenue
The Company’s real estate
service revenue consists primarily of real estate agency commission for buying and selling properties for clients, and revenue generated
from property management, home renovation, and mortgage referral services.
The Company earns agency commission
revenue, usually at a fixed percentage of property’s selling price, through facilitating the buy or sale of various types of properties,
including residential, commercial, and land parcels. The Company is considered an agent for these services provided, and reports service
revenue earned through these transactions on a net basis. Revenue is recognized when the agency service is provided, usually at the closing
of escrow.
The Company’s CEO has
owned his personal real estate salesperson license since 2020 and obtained his personal real estate broker license on August 8, 2023.
Prior to obtaining the broker license, the Company performed real estate transactions as a sales agent under a real estate brokerage firm,
an unrelated third party, and earned sales commissions at fixed rates. On November 17, 2023, Linkhome Realty obtained a real estate
broker license for the Company. Thus, the Company gradually transitioned from operating as a sales agent under a third-party real
estate broker to a real estate broker independently. This transition marks a significant shift in the Company’s business model,
as it no longer relies on other firms to conduct real estate transactions.
The Company provides property
management services, which include two primary activities: tenant placement and ongoing property management. Tenant placement services
involve marketing the property, identifying suitable tenants, and facilitating the rental agreement. For these services, the Company acts
as an agent and charges a rental commission, either as a percentage of the first year’s rent or a fixed fee. Revenue from tenant
placement is recognized at a point in time when a tenant is secured, and the lease contract is executed. Additionally, the Company provides
ongoing property management services, which may include collecting rent on behalf of the landlord, coordinating maintenance and repairs,
and addressing tenant inquiries during the lease term. For these services, the Company also acts as an agent and charges a service fee.
Revenue from ongoing property management is recognized over time as the services are rendered, as the landlord simultaneously receives
and consumes the benefits of the Company’s efforts.
The Company also offers a full
range of home renovation services, from bathroom and kitchen renovations to customized home renovations and extensions, helping clients
prepare their homes for sale or personalize newly purchased properties. The Company considers itself as a principal for this service as
it has control of the specified service at any time before it is transferred to the customer, which is evidenced by (i) the Company
is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promises to provide home renovation services meeting customer specifications, and assumes
fulfilment risk (i.e., risk that the performance obligation will not be satisfied); and (ii) the Company has discretion in selecting
third-party renovation contractors and establishing the price, and bears the risk for services that are not fully paid for by customers.
The renovation period is usually within one to three months; the Company recognizes revenue when the renovation service is completed,
on a gross basis with corresponding costs incurred.
In addition, the Company collaborates
with lending institutions and mortgage brokers to assist clients in seeking and securing mortgage services, and aiding clients in the
process of obtaining loans or financing for property purchases. The Company receives a referral fee as a percentage of the loan amount
and recognizes revenue when the loan is approved.
Revenue from Property Purchases and Sales through
Cash Offer
The Company’s revenue
from purchases and sales through Cash Offer consists primarily of the Company’s purchasing a hot property in cash and then selling
it to a customer. The Company purchases a property in cash with ownership transferred to Linkhome Realty. Subsequently, Linkhome Realty
sells the property to the customer within a short period of time. Both purchase and sales transactions go through an escrow company. The
Company is the principal of these transactions and recognizes revenue and cost when the property purchased is sold and escrow is closed.
This type of revenue does not contain a financing component due to there being no difference between the amount of promised consideration
and the cash selling price of the promised goods or services, and the length of time between when the Company transfers the promised goods
or services to the customer and when the customer pays for those goods is very short, usually within a few weeks or a few months.

Cost of revenues consists primarily
of (i) costs related to the purchase of properties under Linkhome Realty’s name, which are subsequently sold to the customer,
and (ii) costs related to real estate services, including commission payouts to real estate agents working for the Company and renovation
costs associated with home renovation services.
Segment Information
FASB ASC Topic 280, “Segment
Reporting,” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is
based on the method a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance.
Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manners in which
management disaggregates a company. Management has determined the Company’s current operations constitute a single reportable segment
in accordance with ASC 280. The Company’s only business and industry segment is real-estate industry, mainly including
two revenue streams: (i) revenue from the Company’s purchases and sales through Cash Offer, and (ii) real estate services
including real estate agency for buying and selling properties, property management, home renovation and mortgage referral services.
All customers of the Company
resided within the United States, where all revenues were generated for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2024 and 2023. Additionally, all properties purchased and sold by the Company were situated within the United States. Therefore,
no geographical segments are presented.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that
potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and accounts receivable.
The Company has concentrated its credit risk for cash by maintaining deposits in the financial institutions in the United States.
Deposits in these financial institutions may, from time to time, exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”)’s
federally insured limits. The standard insurance amount is $ 250,000 per depositor, per insured bank, for each account ownership category.
The bank deposits exceeding the standard insurance amount will not be covered. The Company has not experienced any losses relating to
its cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
11
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company applies the fair
value measurement accounting standard in accordance with ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” whenever
other accounting pronouncements require or permit fair value measurements. Fair value is defined in ASC 820-10 as the price
that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement
date. The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable
or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market
data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity’s pricing based upon their own market
assumptions. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels (Level 1 is the highest priority and Level 3 is the lowest
priority):
● Level 1 — Observable inputs that reflect quoted
prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
● Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included
in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or
liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other observable
inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data.
● Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are not supported
by market data. Unobservable inputs are developed based on the best information available, which might include the Company’s own
data.
As of September 30, 2024
and December 31, 2023, the Company did not identify any assets and liabilities that are required to be re-measured at fair value.
The carrying values of financial instruments included in current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair values because
of their short maturities.
Leases
Under ASC 842, “Leases,”
a contract is or contains a lease when the Company has the right to control the use of an identified asset. The Company determines if
an arrangement is a lease at inception of the contract, which is the date on which the terms of the contract are agreed to, and the agreement
creates enforceable rights and obligations. The commencement date of the lease is the date that the lessor makes an underlying asset available
for use by the Company.
The Company determines if the
lease is an operating or finance lease at the lease commencement date based upon the terms of the lease and the nature of the asset. The
lease term used to calculate the lease liability includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that
the option will be exercised. Linkhome Realty’s office lease is classified as an operating lease, reflected in the operating lease
right-of-use assets, current portion of operating lease liabilities and non-current portion of operating lease liabilities in
the consolidated balance sheets.
The lease liability is measured
at the present value of future lease payments, discounted using the discount rate for the lease at the commencement date. As the Company
is typically unable to determine the implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on the lease term and economic
environment at commencement date. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is a hypothetical rate based on its understanding of
what its credit rating would be. The ROU assets include adjustments for prepayments and accrued lease payments. The right-of-use (“ROU”)
asset is initially measured as the amount of lease liability, adjusted for any initial lease costs, prepaid lease payments, and reduced
by any lease incentives.
ROU assets are reviewed for
impairment when indicators of impairment are present. ROU assets from operating and finance leases are subject to the impairment guidance
in ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment,” as ROU assets are long-lived nonfinancial assets.
ROU assets are tested for impairment
individually or as part of an asset group if the cash flows related to the ROU assets are not independent from the cash flows of other
assets and liabilities. An asset group is the unit of accounting for long-lived assets to be held and used, which represents the
lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. As
of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company recognized no impairment of ROU assets.
12
Related Parties and Transactions
The Company identifies related
parties, and accounts for, discloses related party transactions in accordance with ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures”
and other relevant ASC standards.
Parties, which can be a corporation
or individual, are related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant
influence over the other party in making financial and operational decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are
subject to common control or common significant influence. Transactions between related parties commonly occurring in the normal course
of business are related party transactions. Transactions between related parties are also considered to be related party transactions
even though they may not be given accounting recognition. While ASC does not provide accounting or measurement guidance for such transactions,
it nonetheless requires their disclosure.
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per ordinary
share is computed by dividing net income attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to ordinary shareholders by
the sum of the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding and of potential ordinary shares (e.g., convertible securities,
options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later. Potential ordinary
shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from
the calculation of diluted loss per share. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company
had no dilutive stocks.
Commitments and Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist
as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved
when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management and legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities,
and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that
are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s legal counsel evaluates
the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected
to be sought.
If the assessment of a contingency
indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, the estimated liability
would be accrued in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss
contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, the nature of the contingent liability,
together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed. As of September 30, 2024
and December 31, 2023, the Company has no such contingencies.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company considers the applicability
and impact of all ASUs. Management periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued. Under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups
Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS Act”), the Company meets the definition of an emerging growth company and has
elected the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, which delays the adoption of these accounting
standards until they would apply to private companies.
In November 2023, the
FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”).
The amendments in the ASU are intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about
significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure
of segment profit or loss. In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity
can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable
segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. The purpose of the amendments is to enable “investors to better understand an
entity’s overall performance” and assess “potential future cash flows.” The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are
effective for all public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company’s management does not believe the adoption of ASU 2023-07 will have
a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.
In December 2023, the
FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”),
which requires disclosure of incremental income tax information within the rate reconciliation and expanded disclosures of income taxes
paid, among other disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company’s management does not believe the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have a material
impact on its financial statements and disclosures.
The Company’s management
does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, authoritative guidance, if currently adopted, would have a material
impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.

NOTE 10 — INCOME TAXES
Linkhome Holdings was incorporated
in the State of Nevada in November 2023 and is subject to a 21 % corporate federal income tax rate. There is no state income tax in
Nevada. Linkhome Holdings serves as a holding company for Linkhome Realty.
Effective July 13, 2021,
Linkhome Realty elected to be taxed as a S-corporation, a pass-through entity, for which the income, losses, deductions, and credits
flow through to the shareholders of the Company for federal tax purposes. The California state annual income tax for S-corporation is
the greater of 1.5 % of the corporation’s net income or $ 800 . Effective January 1, 2024, Linkhome Realty’s tax status
changed to C-corporation, subject to a 21 % corporate federal income tax rate and an 8.84 % California state income tax rate.

The Company evaluates its valuation
allowance requirements at end of each reporting period by reviewing all available evidence, both positive and negative, and considering
whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance is needed. When circumstances cause a change in management’s
judgement about the realizability of deferred tax assets, the impact of the change on the valuation allowance is generally reflected in
income from operations. The future realization of the tax benefit of an existing deductible temporary difference or carryforward ultimately
depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character within the carryforward period available under applicable
tax law. As of September 30, 2024, Linkhome Holdings had $ 11,582 net operating loss that can be carried forward to offset future
taxable income indefinitely. Due to uncertainties surrounding future utilization on Linkhome Holdings, the Company recorded 100 % valuation
allowance against the deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2024, based upon management’s assessment as to their realization.

Overview
Linkhome Holdings Inc. (“Linkhome,”

Revenue from Property Purchases and Sales Through
Cash Offer
In a competitive real estate
market, a buyer who pays in full cash is more likely to secure a property. To give buyers an edge in competitive markets, we offer Cash
Offer program which enables buyers to make all-cash offers on properties, even if they require financing. Through our Cash Offer
program, we provide the funds to make a cash offer once the client identifies a property. If the seller accepts the cash offer, we purchase
the property in cash to secure its ownership, and subsequently sell it to the client within a short period of time. Our property purchases
and sales through Cash Offer focus primarily on residential and commercial properties.
Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30,
2024 and 2023
Revenue from property purchases
and sales through Cash Offer accounted for 81.15% and 0% of net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023,
respectively. Our revenue from property purchases and sales through Cash Offer was $1,670,000 for the three months ended September 30,
2024, compared to $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as we started this new revenue stream in late 2023. For
the three months ended September 30, 2024, one property was purchased and sold through the Cash Offer program at a transaction
price of $1.67 million.
Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30,
2024 and 2023
Revenue from property purchases
and sales through Cash Offer accounted for 85.04% and 0% of net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023,
respectively. Our revenue from property purchases and sales through Cash Offer was $4,610,544 for the nine months ended September 30,
2024, compared to $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as we started this new revenue stream in late 2023. For the
nine months ended September 30, 2024, four properties were purchased and sold through the Cash Offer program with an average
transaction price of $1.13 million.
Real Estate Service Revenue
We offer comprehensive real
estate services tailored to meet the diverse needs of our clients. Our real estate service revenue consists primarily of real estate agency
commission for buying and selling properties for clients, and revenue generated from property management, home renovation and mortgage
referral services.
Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30,
2024 and 2023
Real estate service revenue
accounted for 18.85% and 100% of net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Our real
estate service revenue increased by $285,474, or 278.62%, from $102,461 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, to $387,935
for the three months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in real estate agency commission
and home renovation service revenue, partially offset by a decrease in mortgage referral fee and property management service revenue,
as explained below.
Real estate agency commission
increased by $208,529, or 228.50%, from $91,260 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, to $299,789 for the three months
ended September 30, 2024. This increase was primarily driven by a 244.86% increase in transaction volume, resulting from a 150.00%
increase in the number of real estate transactions and a 37.94% increase in the average transaction price. For the three months ended
September 30, 2024, we achieved a total transaction volume of $18,363,474 by completing 15 real estate transactions at an average
transaction price of $1.22 million, while we achieved a total transaction volume of $5,324,887 by completing 6 real estate transactions
at an average transaction price of $0.89 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in real estate
agency commission was partially offset by an increase in rebates, as we offered higher rebates to attract more clients and expand market
share. Rebates increased by $45,027, or 315.98%, from $14,250 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, to $59,277 for
the three months ended September 30, 2024. Rebates accounted for 16.51% and 13.51% of gross real estate agency commission for
the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Revenue from home renovation
service was $84,100 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $0 for the three months ended September 30,
2023, as we started providing this service in late 2023 in response to increasing demand for home renovation to enhance living spaces
and increase home equity. We completed five home renovation projects for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
24
Revenue from mortgage referral
service was $0 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $6,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023. We assisted
one client in securing a mortgage for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Revenue from property management
service decreased by $1,155, or 22.21%, from $5,201 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, to $4,046 for the three months
ended September 30, 2024. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we solicited tenants for two properties, consistent
with the same period in 2023. In addition to tenant placement services, we started providing ongoing property management services in 2024,
managing two properties for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to a lower average
revenue per tenant placement during the 2024 period and the initial implementation of ongoing property management services, which are
structured to generate recurring revenue over time rather than upfront payments.
Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30,
2024 and 2023
Real estate service revenue
accounted for 14.96% and 100% of net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Our real
estate service revenue increased by $660,122, or 436.82%, from $151,118 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, to $811,240
for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in real estate agency commission
and home renovation service revenue, partially offset by a slight decrease in mortgage referral fee and property management service revenue,
as explained below.
Real estate agency commission
increased by $458,353, or 343.78%, from $133,327 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, to $591,680 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2024. This increase was primarily driven by a 327.39% increase in transaction volume, resulting from a 240.00%
increase in the number of real estate transactions and a 25.70% increase in the average transaction price. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2024, we achieved a total transaction volume of $35,296,729 by completing 34 real estate transactions at an average
transaction price of $1.04 million, while we achieved a total transaction volume of $8,258,719 by completing 10 real estate transactions
at an average transaction price of $0.83 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in real estate
agency commission was partially offset by an increase in rebates, as we offered higher rebates to attract more clients and expand market
share. Rebates increased by $119,886, or 600.33%, from $19,970 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, to $139,856 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Rebates accounted for 19.12% and 13.03% of gross real estate agency commission for
the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Revenue from home renovation
service was $203,726 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $0 for the nine months ended September 30,
2023, as we started providing this service in late 2023 in response to increasing demand for home renovation to enhance living spaces
and increase home equity. We completed 11 home renovation projects for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Revenue from mortgage referral
service decreased by $1,950, or 32.50%, from $6,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, to $4,050 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2024. We assisted one client in securing a mortgage for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023,
respectively. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to a lower referral fee earned per transaction in 2024 compared to 2023.
Revenue from property management
service decreased slightly by $7, or 0.06%, from $11,791 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, to $11,784 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2024. We solicited tenants for seven properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared
to six properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. In addition to tenant placement services, we started providing
ongoing property management services in 2024, managing two properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The slight decrease
in revenue was primarily attributable to a lower average revenue per tenant placement during the 2024 period and the initial implementation
of ongoing property management services, which are structured to generate recurring revenue over time rather than upfront payments.
25
Cost of Revenues
Our cost of revenues consists
primarily of (i) costs related to the purchase of properties under Linkhome Realty’s name, which are subsequently sold to the
customer, and (ii) costs related to real estate services, including commission payouts to real estate agents working for the Company
and renovation costs associated with home renovation services.
We derive our cost of revenues
from two revenue streams: (i) property purchases and sales through Cash Offer and (ii) real estate services. The following table
presented our cost of revenues by revenue stream for the periods presented:

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30,
2024 and 2023
Cost of property purchases
and sales through Cash Offer was $1,425,829 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $0 for the three months
ended September 30, 2023, as we started this new revenue stream in late 2023. The increase in cost of property purchases and sales
through Cash Offer was primarily driven by the purchase of a property that was subsequently sold through our Cash Offer program for the
three months ended September 30, 2024.
Cost of real estate services
increased by $98,478, or 339.58%, from $29,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, to $127,478 for the three months
ended September 30, 2024. The increase in cost of real estate services was primarily driven by an increase in renovation costs as
we started providing home renovation service in late 2023.
Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30,
2024 and 2023
Cost of property purchases
and sales through Cash Offer was $4,310,711 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $0 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2023, as we started this new revenue stream in late 2023. The increase in cost of property purchases and sales
through Cash Offer was primarily driven by purchases of the properties that were subsequently sold through our Cash Offer program for
the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Cost of real estate services
increased by $161,879, or 263.65%, from $61,400 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, to $223,279 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2024. The increase in cost of real estate services was primarily driven by an increase in renovation costs as
we started providing home renovation service in late 2023, which was partially offset by a decrease in commission payouts to our real
estate agents, especially to our CEO, as he has spent more time on expanding the new market and AI development in 2024.
26
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Our selling expenses consist
primarily of staging, advertising and marketing costs, including online and offline marketing, photography and videography. We expect
our selling expenses as a percentage of net revenues to modestly increase in the foreseeable future to achieve high-quality growth.
Our general and administrative
expenses consist primarily of professional service costs, payroll and payroll related costs, rent and other overhead costs. We anticipate
our general and administrative expenses will increase in the short term as a result of increased costs associated with being a public
company, which will likely include increased costs related to the hiring of additional personnel and fees to outside consultants, attorneys,
and accountants; however, we expect our general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues to decrease over the long
term as we continue to enhance overall cost control to improve operating margin.

real estate market to attract more clients and increase our market share.
Gross profit from real estate
services as a percentage of real estate service revenue was 67.14% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to

payouts to our CEO, partially offset by increased renovation costs. We started providing home renovation service in late 2023; gross profit

General and administrative
expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $331,127 and $20,663, respectively, representing an increase
of $310,464 or 1,502.51%. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in legal and accounting expenses, payroll expenses, payroll
tax expenses, rent expense, and depreciation expenses of $149,443, $95,975, $8,419, $30,589, and $12,632, respectively. Legal and accounting
expenses increased primarily due to the Company’s preparation for the initial public offering; payroll and payroll tax expenses
increased primarily due to the hiring of new employees; rent expense increased primarily due to the commencement of the Company’s
office lease in September 2023; depreciation expenses increased primarily due to the acquisition of a vehicle, furniture, and office
equipment.
Other (Expenses) Income, Net
Other expenses were $1,237
for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to other income of $79 for the nine months ended September 30,
2023. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, other expenses consisted primarily of auto loan interest expense of $2,311
and bank fees of $478, partially offset by credit card rebates of $1,165 and bank reward of $387. For the nine months ended September 30,
2023, other income consisted primarily of credit card rebates of $86, partially offset by bank fees of $7.
Income Tax Expenses
Income tax expenses for the
nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $167,905 and $987, respectively, representing an increase of $166,918 or
16,911.65%. This significant increase was primarily due to increased taxable income and the change in Linkhome Realty’s tax filing
status from an S-corporation to C-corporation, effective January 1, 2024. As a C-corporation, Linkhome Realty is subject
to a federal income tax rate of 21% and a California state income tax rate of 8.84%.
Net Income
Net income for the nine months
ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $375,289 and $64,839, respectively, representing an increase of $310,450 or 478.80%. This increase
was primarily driven by increased net revenues.
31
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In assessing liquidity, management
monitors and analyzes the Company’s cash on-hand, ability to generate sufficient revenue sources in the future, and operating and
capital expenditure commitments. Historically, we have funded our working capital, operations and other capital requirements primarily
through equity contributions from stockholders and cash flow from operations. Our ability to meet our current expenses and obligations
depends on the future realization of our current assets. Management has considered historical experience, current economic conditions,
reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and trends in the real estate industry to evaluate the expected collectability
of accounts receivable as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Our liquidity may be affected by general economic,
competitive, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.
We plan to expand our real
estate business, develop our artificial intelligence real estate platform, and increase our own real estate investment. To accomplish
such expansion plan, we estimate the total related capital investment and expenditures to be approximately $2 million over the next
12 months.
We believe that our current
cash and cash flows provided by operating activities will be sufficient to meet our working capital needs for existing business over the
next 12 months from the issuance date of the financial statements. However, we plan to use part of the proceeds from this offering
to support our business expansion described above. We may also seek additional financing, to the extent needed, and there can be no assurance
that such financing will be available on favorable terms, or at all. Such financing may include the use of additional debt or the sale
of additional equity securities. Any financing which involves the sale of equity securities or instruments that are convertible into equity
securities could result in immediate and possibly significant dilution to our existing stockholders. If it is determined that the cash
requirements exceed the Company’s amounts of cash on hand, the Company may also seek to issue additional debt or obtain financial
support from stockholders. The principal stockholders of the Company have made a commitment to provide financial support to the Company
whenever necessary and will continue to provide support following the consummation of this offering.
Cash Flows for the Nine Months Ended

Trend Information
Other than as disclosed elsewhere
in this prospectus, we are not aware of any trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments, or events that are reasonably likely to have
a material effect on our revenue, income from operations, net income, liquidity, or capital resources, or that would cause reported financial
information not necessarily to be indicative of future operating results or financial condition.
Inflation
Inflation and rising interest
rates have significantly influenced the economic environment, impacting our operations and financial performance. Monetary authorities,
in response to heightened inflationary pressures, have raised interest rates, which has increased borrowing costs and reduced the availability
of financing. These changes have directly affected the real estate market by making mortgages less affordable for potential homebuyers,
leading to decreased demand for real estate. We continue to monitor inflation, monetary policy changes, and their potential adverse effects
on our business. Despite these challenges, higher interest rates have reduced competition among buyers, creating opportunities for some
to view this as an advantageous time to purchase real estate.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis
of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements. These financial statements
are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
our assets and liabilities and revenue and expenses, to disclose contingent assets and liabilities on the date of the consolidated financial
statements, and to disclose the reported amounts of revenue and expenses incurred during the financial reporting period. We continue to
evaluate these estimates and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We rely on these evaluations as the
basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Since
the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from those estimates. Some
of our accounting policies require higher degrees of judgment than others in their application. We believe that the critical accounting
policies as disclosed in this prospectus reflect the more significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our consolidated
financial statements. Further, as an emerging growth company, we have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with
new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for emerging growth companies until the earlier of the date that
we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period
provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, these financial statements contained in our subsequent filings with the SEC may not be comparable
to other public companies.
The following critical accounting
policies rely upon assumptions and estimates and were used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated
financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities as of the dates of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and judgments include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, allowance
for credit losses, income taxes, the useful lives of long-lived assets and assumptions used in assessing impairment of long-lived assets.
Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances,
the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Although actual amounts
may differ from the estimated amounts, such differences are not likely to be material.
34
Revenue Recognition
In accordance with ASC 606,
“Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services.
The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods
or services. The Company recognizes revenues following the five-step model prescribed under ASU No. 2014-09: (i) identifies
contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identifies the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determines the transaction
price; (iv) allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognizes revenues when
(or as) it satisfies the performance obligation.
The Company derives its revenues
primarily from real estate services and real estate purchases and sales through Cash Offer.
Real Estate Service Revenue
The Company’s real estate
service revenue consists primarily of real estate agency commission for buying and selling properties for clients, revenue generated from
property management service, home renovation service, and mortgage referral service.
The Company earns agency commission
revenue, usually at a fixed percentage of property’s selling price, through facilitating the buy or sale of various types of properties,
including residential, commercial, and land parcels. The Company is considered an agent for these services provided, and reports service
revenue earned through these transactions on a net basis. Revenue is recognized when the agency service is provided, usually at the closing
of the escrow.
The Company’s CEO has
owned his personal real estate salesperson license since 2020 and obtained a personal real estate broker license on August 8, 2023.
Prior to obtaining the broker license, the Company performed real estate transactions as a sales agent under a real estate brokerage firm,
an unrelated third party, and earned sales commissions at fixed rate. On November 17, 2023, Linkhome Realty obtained a real estate
broker license for the Company. Thus, the Company gradually transitioned from operating as a sales agent under a third-party real
estate broker to a real estate broker independently. This transition marks a significant shift in the Company’s business model,
as it no longer relies on other firms to conduct real estate transactions.
The Company provides property
management services, which include two primary activities: tenant placement and ongoing property management. Tenant placement services
involve marketing the property, identifying suitable tenants, and facilitating the rental agreement. For these services, the Company acts
as an agent and charges a rental commission, either as a percentage of the first year’s rent or a fixed fee. Revenue from tenant
placement is recognized at a point in time when a tenant is secured, and the lease contract is executed. Additionally, the Company provides
ongoing property management services, which may include collecting rent on behalf of the landlord, coordinating maintenance and repairs,
and addressing tenant inquiries during the lease term. For these services, the Company also acts as an agent and charges a service fee.
Revenue from ongoing property management is recognized over time as the services are rendered, as the landlord simultaneously receives
and consumes the benefits of the Company’s efforts.
The Company also offers a full
range of home renovation services, from bathroom and kitchen renovations to customized home renovations and extensions, helping clients
prepare their homes for sale or personalize newly purchased properties. The Company considers itself as a principal for this service as
it has control of the specified service at any time before it is transferred to the customer, which is evidenced by (i) the Company
is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promises to provide home renovation services meeting customer specifications, and assumes
fulfilment risk (i.e., risk that the performance obligation will not be satisfied); and (ii) the Company has discretion in selecting
third-party renovation contractors and establishing the price, and bears the risk for services that are not fully paid for by customers.
The renovation period is usually within one to three months; the Company recognizes revenue when the renovation service is completed,
on a gross basis with corresponding costs incurred.
35
In addition, the Company collaborates
with lending institutions and mortgage brokers to assist clients in seeking and securing mortgage services, and aiding clients in the
process of obtaining loans or financing for property purchases. The Company receives a referral fee as a percentage of the loan amount
and recognizes revenue when the loan is approved.
Revenue from Property Purchases and Sales through
Cash Offer
The Company’s revenue
from purchases and sales through Cash Offer consists primarily of the Company’s purchasing a hot property in cash and then selling
it to a customer. The Company purchases a property in cash with ownership transferred to Linkhome Realty. Subsequently, Linkhome Realty
sells the property to the customer within a short period of time. Both purchase and sales transactions go through an escrow company. The
Company is the principal of these transactions and recognizes revenue and cost when the property purchased is sold and escrow is closed.
This type of revenue does not contain a financing component due to there being no difference between the amount of promised consideration
and the cash selling price of the promised goods or services, and the length of time between when the Company transfers the promised goods
or services to the customer and when the customer pays for those goods is very short, usually within a few weeks or a few months.
Credit Losses
On January 1, 2023, the
Company adopted ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit
Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”). This standard replaced the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss
methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. CECL requires an estimate of credit
losses for the remaining estimated life of the financial asset using historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable
forecasts and generally applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt
securities, and some off-balance sheet credit exposures such as unfunded commitments to extend credit. Financial assets measured
at amortized cost will be presented at the net amount expected to be collected by using an allowance for credit losses. In addition, CECL
made changes to the accounting for available-for-sale debt securities. One such change is to require credit losses to be presented
as an allowance rather than as a write-down on available-for-sale debt securities if management does not intend to sell and
does not believe that it is more likely than not they will be required to sell.
The Company adopted ASC 326
and all related subsequent amendments thereto effective January 1, 2023, using the modified retrospective approach for all financial
assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures. The was no transition adjustment of the adoption of CECL.
The Company’s accounts
receivable and prepaid expense in the consolidated balance sheets are within the scope of ASC Topic 326. As the Company has
limited customers and debtors, the Company uses the loss-rate method to evaluate the expected credit losses on an individual basis.
When establishing the loss rate, the Company makes the assessment on various factors, including historical experience, credit-worthiness of
customers and debtors, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, and other factors
that may affect its ability to collect from the customers and debtors. The Company also provides specific provisions for allowance when
facts and circumstances indicate that the receivable is unlikely to be collected.
Expected credit losses are
recorded as an allowance for credit losses, which is netted against accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheets, and are recognized
as an expense in the consolidated statements of income. Receivables are written off against the allowance when all collection efforts
have been exhausted and recovery is deemed remote. If the Company recovers amounts that were previously written off, the recovered amounts
are recognized as a reduction to the provision for credit losses in the consolidated statements of income.
36
Accounts Receivable, Net
Accounts receivable represent
the amounts that the Company has an unconditional right to consideration, which are stated at the historical carrying amount net of allowance
for credit losses. The Company maintains allowances for credit losses for estimated losses. The Company reviews the accounts receivable
on a periodic basis and makes allowances when there is doubt as to the collectability of individual balances. In evaluating the collectability
of individual receivable balances, the Company considers many factors, including historical losses, the age of the receivable balance,
the customer’s historical payment pattens and creditworthiness, current economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts
of future economic conditions. Accounts are written off 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 Company had allowances for credit
losses of $0 and $9,092, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not write off
any accounts receivable against the allowance for credit losses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the
Company wrote off accounts receivable of $9,092 and $0, respectively, against the allowance for credit losses.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
Long-lived assets, which
include property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by
comparing the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the
carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by
which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s
expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable.
The Company evaluates events
and changes in circumstances that could indicate the carrying amounts of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. When such events
or changes in circumstances occur, the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying
value of such assets will be recovered through undiscounted expected future cash flows. If the total of the future undiscounted cash flows
is less than the carrying amount of those assets, the Company records an impairment charge in the period in which such a determination
is made. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying
amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Based on the above analysis, no impairment loss was recognized related to these
assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset
and liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this
method, income tax expense is recognized for the amount of: (i) taxes payable or refundable for the current period and (ii) deferred
tax consequences of temporary differences resulting from matters that have been recognized in an entity’s financial statements or
tax returns. Deferred tax assets also include the prior years’ net operating losses carried forward. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences
are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the
results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets
reported if based on the weight of the available positive and negative evidence, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the
deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company follows FASB ASC
Topic 740, which prescribes a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position
taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FASB ASC Topic 740 also provides guidance on recognition of income tax assets
and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated
with tax positions, accounting for income taxes in interim periods, and income tax disclosures.
37
Under the provisions of FASB
ASC Topic 740, when tax returns are filed, it is likely some positions taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities,
while others are subject to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount of the position that would be ultimately
sustained. The benefit of a tax position is recognized in the financial statements in the period during which, based on all available
evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution
of appeals or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset or aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that
meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent
likely of being realized upon settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the benefits associated with tax positions
taken that exceeds the amount measured as described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying
balance sheets along with any associated interest and penalties that would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination. Interest
associated with unrecognized tax benefits is classified as interest expense and penalties are classified in selling, general and administrative
expenses in the statements of income. The Company did not take any uncertain positions that would necessitate recording a tax related
liability for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
Prior to January 1, 2024,
Linkhome Realty filed its income tax return under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRS”) as an S-corporation, and
elected to be taxed as a pass-through entity, for which the income, losses, deductions, and credits flow through to the stockholders
of the company for federal tax purposes. Effective January 1, 2024, Linkhome Realty’s tax status became C-corporation, and
is subject to a federal income tax rate of 21% and California state income tax rate of 8.84%. As a parent holding company of Linkhome
Realty, Linkhome Holdings was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 6, 2023, and is only subject to a federal income tax
rate of 21%.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company considers the applicability
and impact of all ASUs. Management periodically reviews new accounting standards that are issued. Under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups
Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS Act”), the Company meets the definition of an emerging growth company and
has elected the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, which delays the adoption of these
accounting standards until they would apply to private companies.
In November 2023, the
FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”).
The amendments in the ASU are intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about
significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure
of segment profit or loss. In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity
can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable
segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. The purpose of the amendments is to enable “investors to better understand an
entity’s overall performance” and assess “potential future cash flows.” The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are
effective for all public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company’s management does not believe the adoption of ASU 2023-07 will have
a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.
In December 2023, the
FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”),
which requires disclosure of incremental income tax information within the rate reconciliation and expanded disclosures of income taxes
paid, among other disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company’s management does not believe the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have a material
impact on its financial statements and disclosures.
The Company’s management
does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, authoritative guidance, if currently adopted, would have a material
impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.
